Ancient Mountains [Haiku]

ancient mountain:
now a pile of worn boulders,
under monsoon clouds.

Windswept [Haiku]

windswept tree
on the rocky hilltop:
bare and bended.

Reptilian Investigations [Haiku]

rock agama pops
over the boulder's top:
sniffs & scurries.

Hot Nights [Haiku]

Summer sunset
over the sprawling sea:
blackness brings no cool.

Survivors [Haiku]

with winter at hand,
the last crisp leaves yield
only to stout gales.

Dark Slate Sea [Haiku]

dark slate seas
pound the rocky coast,
fringing it foam-white.

Stingproof [Haiku]

the Buddha sits:
untroubled by the bees
enticed by garlands.

Trails [Kyōka]

wildlife trail:
a subtle part in the grass;
human trail:
a bald and dusty line..., but
a buck 'd be hell on your rug, too!

Raptor Rides [Haiku]

raptor rides updrafts:
head & eye swivel-pivot;
all else, glides.

Making Waves [Haiku]

hilltop puddle
catches gusting winds:
patterns turn chaos.
