Ant’s Eye View [Lyric Poem]
How much grander must the world seem
closer to the ground,
a grass forest within the forest
with layered forest sounds?
Or would one be cut off from
the vaulted dome of sky,
and have one’s world shrink to
the limits of one’s eye?
If an ant thought it saw everything,
but only viewed a slice,
would its tiny ant mind have contracted a basic human vice?

Cave Organ [Haiku]
Yellow Shadow
The fallen leaves
of a sheltered tree
form a shadow
made of yellow,
a pointillist shadow
painted yellow,
‘til the wind blows
angled and low
to send that shadow
on its way -
or ‘til the leaves
turn brown and crisp…
whichever comes first.

Blue, the Happy Color [Lyric Poem]
The sun is out after
days of gray,
and no fog or cloud stands
in my way
of seeing skies of blue.

Wild Grape Monster [Haiku]
