Post Crow [Haiku]

crow on a post,
on rocky desolate ground;
waves lap ashore.

The Slow Flow [Haiku]

teal mountain stream
flows past rock's fluid striations,
proof flow can be slow.

Jungle [Common Meter]

They say jungles are chaotic.
I find them as silent
As the world that is aquatic...
Though no less violent.

Safe Distance [Haiku]

from the mountain,
one can see the city, but
not feel its chaos.

Two Rivers Merge [Tanka]

two rivers merge:
the smaller, lighter branch
seems shut out, but
the bigger river moves
onward a lighter shade.

Sunny Side [Haiku]

light on my face,
i look across the dark valley
to sun-fringed mountains.

Bumping Gunwales [Haiku]

empty boats
bump gunwales
in still air.

Spring Break [Haiku]

distant hills
are now green & rain clouds
have fragmented.

Dancing Trees [Haiku]

trees judder
with spring breezes;
shadows pulse below.

“Dust of Snow” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change in mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
