Long Shadow [Haiku]

Winter sun
casts long shadows
through dead grass.

Surrounded [Haiku]

farm surrounded by jungle:
what will disappear tonight?

Question Tree [Haiku]

one strange tree
curls like a question mark:
Autumnal forest.

heron alights at water’s edge, 
becoming a statue.

Surrender [Lyric Poem]

Let the flood sweep 
one away — out
of the shallows,
into the deeps.
Don’t ever cry;
Don’t ever weep;
Just feel the speed
Carry one on.

The Fray [Lyric Poem]

Rainy December day
blows in - not long to stay.
From season to season,
without any reason,
sometimes we feel the fray.
