stony fortress,
moated: turtle stretches neck
out to sniff the air.

Mobile Home [Common Meter]
Turtle exits its hiding place
beneath a rotten log.
Its shell snags on that old, dead wood
he drags the log along.
Does he know that he's double-shelled?
He seems so unaware.
When he breaks free, he gains no speed --
just crawls on like he don't care.

Stumped [Free Verse]
A stump in the forest
is like a gap in a
wedding party photo
where they photoshopped
out a renegade relative,
but forgot to erase
the person's loafers.

River Fog [Haiku]
Winter mornings:
fog forms on the river --
moments numbered.

The Deeps [Lyric Poem]
A jutting rock
splits the river,
diverging streams
never wither,
but speed around --
smoothly flowing,
still gaining speed --
never slowing,
until they reach
the deeps.

Winter Stripe [Haiku]
low Winter sun
stripes the forest floor
with long shadows.
