Bifurcated [Haiku]

body in the temple yard;
mind on distant mountains.

Yin / Yang [Haiku]

shady side:
sight of sunlit mountain
warms one's core.

Winter Afternoon [Haiku]

sun dips behind
buildings; early on a
Winter afternoon.

Still Waters [Haiku]

Winter morn: 
still waters reflect each twig
of bare trees.

Turtle Hills [Haiku]

hills line
the water's edge
like sunning turtles.

Perilous [Haiku]

spider scurries
across sands beside
lapping waters.

Be Water [Free Verse]

The floating feather
that eludes my grasp
isn't haughty or gleeful.

It just rolls, slips, glides,
and is gone.

Cobbles [Haiku]

on the cobbles
of an ancient city,
sparrows peck.

Mountain Envy [Free Verse]

Ah, the mountain!
Old enough to know
When to stay quiet,
And disciplined enough
To stick to it.
