a tiny frog
on a rain-soaked leaf,
washed away, leaf-n-all.

PROMPT: Weather
What is your favorite type of weather?
Depends on whether I’m outside or inside. If the former, I favor the partly cloudy to sunny range, depending on how brutal or gentle the sun is, respectively. If the latter, I’ve got nothing against a cleansing torrential downpour.

Lily Pad Heron [Haiku]
water lilies stand
confidently, while herons
step warily.

Hornbill [Haiku]
perching hornbill:
a plodding half-ton bovine
doesn't merit attention.

The Other Shore [Free Verse]
Standing on the bank,
Looking at the other shore --
A hundred meters or a mile?
Does it matter,
In such a fast flow?
If I were to swim for it,
Launching myself into
Those cold, choppy waves,
Which would I reach first:
The other shore, or
The Falls, downstream?

Cold River Sky [Haiku]
clouds - low & textured -
look yet angrier when seen
in the cold river.

Cormorant Patience [Kyōka]
the cormorant,
glistening & dripping,
must air dry
before it’s a bird again;
humans cramp in the pool.
