Sky Fire [Haiku]

orange skies blaze, 
briefly but vibrantly,
people watch the fade.

Town Square in Winter [Haiku]

Winter's eve:
town square vacant;
only the church is lit.

Morning Mystery [Haiku]

winter day dawn:
single set of boot-prints
in fresh fallen snow.

Patience [Haiku]

perched egret
clears a window in pond scum,
and waits — statue-like!

Shophouse Row [Senryū]

shophouse row
infinity of portals:
private, but not too...

Inside View [Senryū]

snail stretches
to view the beautiful house -
too close to see.

Pigeon King [Haiku]

pigeons mill about --
then one finds color
in the gray city.

Short Days [Haiku]

winter afternoon:
light drains away before
the sun is down.

Mid-Winter [Haiku]

mid-Winter
pretends to be Autumn:
green with leaf linger.

Ice-laden [Haiku]

ice-laden trees:
frigid limbs wish to dip,
but are too stiff.
