a bare tree,
beside the stream,
sent leaves to the sea:
how far did they get?
"beyond eye & mind."

“Fragmentary Blue” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]
Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet) ---
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

with a tree's last few leaves
for its Winter nest.

Unity [Free Verse]
Many particles to the atom,
Many atoms to the molecule,
Many molecules to the cell,
Many cells to the tissue,
Many tissues to the organ,
Many organs to the system,
Many systems to the organism...
And so it goes,
The many always viewable as
a larger ONE.

Winter Shore [Haiku]
stormy winter day:
seafoam sizzles, its sound lost
to wind and waves.

“The Pond” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]
Cold, wet leaves
Floating on moss-coloured water
And the croaking of frogs --
Cracked bell-notes in the twilight.

Cold Stream [Haiku]
Spring flows:
frigid and silt gray --
rush down the mountain.

Yew [Lyric Poem]
Oh, the Yew tree --
Such a beauty!...
But on that Yew,
You'd best not chew:
It'll kill you painfully.
