Vanishing Hills [Haiku]

rows of hills,
 each new ridge fades more
  into nothingness.

White Water Lily [Haiku]

white water lily
 at the old pond's edge:
  no water sound.

Canopy [Haiku]

the creek bed is wide,
 yet dark by dome of trees
  that stretch for light.

The Autumn Trail [Haiku]

the autumn woods -
 leafless & grass matted - is
  rife with life, unseen

Winter Landscape [Haiku]

winter landscape
of barren trees & dry grass
warmed by a low sun

The Peacock Flower [Senryū]

for a peacock
 to look Peacock Flower-like,
  it must be on fire.

Unimpressed [Tanka]

a stately building
 stands beside the river,
  commanding the eye.
 but that ancient river
  remains unimpressed.  

Painted Sunup [Haiku]

i stop, mid-run,
because this sunrise
will never repeat.

Pink & Blue [Haiku]

pink trumpet flowers,
in dense clustered spheres,
break up spring’s blue sky
