Stand Strong [Haiku]

overflown banks:
trees stand strong
against the flow.

Spring Snow [Haiku]

late Spring:
a dust of snow remains
on green mountains.

White Columns [Haiku]

white columns
rise from a mountain lake:
once mighty pines.

Mental Scaling [Haiku]

trickling water 
becomes a vast cascade;
grass tufts blur to trees.

Heron at Dusk [Haiku]

dusky summer eve:
a heron wades in shallows,
blindly fishing.

Orbit [Haiku]

butterflies orbit
in helter-skelter arcs,
but never bump.

Chital [Lyric Poem]

The Chital at the watering hole
Has one single simple goal:
To drink its fill and then to scat
Before being eaten by some big cat.
