Yellow [Haiku]

springtime.
yellow blossoms
refuse to fall.

World in Sepia [Haiku]

a hazy day,
 the sun 's low, and the world
  turns old photo.

Proximity Perception [Haiku]

the distant apple
 isn't an apple, but a
  hairy air sack. 

Wolf Spider [Haiku]

a wolf spider
 scurries overland like
  I cross a hot beach.

A Poor Place to Be [Lyric Poem]

A turned field on a cloudy day.
 A clapboard shack, with threat of rain.

Oh, it's so dark and gloomy -
 a rickety roost, not so roomy.

Staring out the window, wondering:
 was that sound grumble or thundering?

Grumble of stomach, thunder of sky?
 And I can't see out this bad eye. 

Mountain Life [Haiku]

in misty mountains,
 lichen & moss carpeted,
  two mushrooms stand tall.
