Deer [Lyric Poem]

In the forest, I saw a deer;
It sniffed the air with urgent fear...,
And then resumed its feeding,
Finding the threat of me misleading.

Faux Ice [Haiku]

the low morning sun
burns through gray clouds; the
still lake looks iced over

“The morns are meeker than they were” (32) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

The morns are meeker than they were --
The nuts are getting brown --
The berry's cheek is plumper --
The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf --
The field a scarlet gown --
Lest I sh'd be old-fashioned
I'll put a trinket on.

Rhino [Lyric Poem]

Away trots a baby rhino.
It's the smallest rhino that I know,
And, yet, if it trotted on your foot,
Your foot would definitely be kaput.

Morning Glow [Haiku]

a bloom falls to earth;
lit up by the morning sun,
it glows… for a time.

Tree in Fog [Haiku]

the mountain fog
cannot keep the secrets
of the bare tree.
