Two Trails [Senryū]

two rivers converge.
two trails diverge.
I flip a coin.

Temple Mural [Tanka]

a temple mural
shows monk and novice
admiring Fall leaves,
as I admire the mural -
surrounded by Spring green.

Transitory [Haiku]

butterfly lands
on flower, pumps wings twice,
and sputters off.

Autumn Moon [Haiku]

a single branch,
leafless but bloom-laden,
against the Autumn moon.

Hermit Hut [Haiku]

a hermit-hut hides
on the cloud-enshrouded peak
two valleys away.

Rain Dance [Haiku]

ripples dance
on a flooded paddy
as rain starts, slowly.

Gen Z Stare? [Senryū]

perched magpie
stares into the distance.
gen z? perhaps.

Rainy Day Graveyard [Free Verse]

Rainy day
Graveyard:

Green grass
Glistens
Between row on row
Of low gravestones.

Droplets dash
Against the marble
And against
The brass plaques --
Silently.
Though a steady patter
Of drips on leaves
Sings through.

A poncho-clad figure
Walks through the
Sprawling war memorial ---
Alone.
