in military formation;
humans are nervous.

flits about the woods on a
bright morning, Brown.

sitting in tall grass, stilly —
unsuccessful.

Sunflowers & Amaranth [Senryū]

& follow the sun;
while amaranth bows.

Lily Ring [Haiku]

crowd around where the frog
plopped into pond.

the lawn blossoms:
attracting minds that never
paid heed the grass.

Hot Nights [Haiku]

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

Roses & Weeds [Haiku]

roses in peak bloom,
but butterflies prefer
the weeds below.

Safe Distance [Haiku]

one can see the city, but
not feel its chaos.

the poet's wild dance
spills not a drop of wine,
but for down the throat.
