then vanish entirely.

vanish it again.

shows gold to the outside;
its core, still green.

flits about the woods on a
bright morning, Brown.

Monkey Hot Tub? [Haiku]

of Winter hot springs.

Snowy Pass [Haiku]

though low country types think it
the cusp of Summer.

over flowing waters:
reaching not touching.

Cow Camo [Senryū]

sitting in tall grass, stilly —
unsuccessful.
