“Illusion” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]

   Walking beside the tree-peonies,
I saw a beetle
Whose wings were of black lacquer spotted with milk.
I would have caught it,
But it ran from me swiftly
And hid under the stone lotus
Which supports the Statue of Buddha.

Light Rides Dark [Haiku]

rivers merge;
two cocoa hues seem unmixed,
but light rides the dark.

Bee Mind [Haiku]

among Spring flowers,
bees swarm one yellow plant
that doesn't look special.

Erased [Haiku]

from the hillfort,
fog sliding down valley
erases modernity.

Desert Sunset [Haiku]

desert sunset
dips toward silhouetted dunes:
fade to black... then Stars!

Stork at Dusk [Haiku]

stands on a sunken branch:
dusky summer eve.
