in a city park,
muscular baobabs &
wiry strangler figs
provide residences
for the fierce squirrels.

Dark Valley [Haiku]
in the dark valley,
eyes settle on the one hilltop
graced by sunlight.

Choppy Shore [Haiku]
waves crash ashore,
churning waves to foam,
white coastal frill.

Gibbous Moon [Haiku]
clouds dance around
the gibbous moon’s bright orb,
one warm winter night.

Winter Gloom [Haiku]
under gray skies,
the flooded paddies
amplify winter gloom.

And Then There Were Two [Haiku]
a pair of blossoms -
all that's left on the tree:
two blooms - side-by-side.

“Where Go the Boats?” by Robert Louis Stevenson [w/ Audio]
Dark brown is the river,
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating --
Where will all come home?
On goes the river,
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.

Porous [Haiku]
the tree sprawls,
over the mountain trail, yet
winter rains pass through.
