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.

Blossom Pair [Haiku]

the last two blossoms on the mountain, 
bump petals on a common stem.

Sound & Silence [Haiku]

crisp leaves rattle in a gust, 
but a chipmunk climbs in silence.

Battle Royale [Senryū]

insects unseen:
chaotic bird movement, a
bird battle royale?

Orange [Senryū]

lying on a hill,
eyes open to orange clouds:
how long was I out?

Encore [Haiku]

hidden sun
drops out of cloudbank
for an encore.
