Seaside Sunset [Haiku]

red-hot steel glow:
sun crawls toward
wine-dark seas.

Mutual Drift [Free Verse]

Lying back on the water,
Peering into a cloud,

I shift like driftwood --
rocking and rising,
rolling and dipping.

As I stare at the cloud,
It seems to stare back.

It drifts - suspiciously -
Or maybe I'm drifting
And it is still --

In truth, we're both drifting,
And neither of us has
The mental energy to be
Suspicious.

Edge of Weather [Haiku]

Winter day:
bright sunlight at cloud's end --
glassy river.

Rain Strike [Haiku]

rain strike seen
in ripples on the pond
before felt on skin.

Foresight [Senryū]

from the hilltop,
Spring downpour creeps nearer;
me, sans raingear.

Misty Falls [Haiku]

mid-Summer:
I pause under misty falls,
'til I feel the Spring.

Cloud Retreat [Haiku]

clouds retreat
out of the valley:
dreamworld made real.

Summer Fishing [Haiku]

long-tailed boat
chugs down the buoy-line:
Summer fishing.
