Flower Mind [Free Verse]

Morning Glories
don’t feel slighted
because they bloomed
in the shadow of
Mexican Sunflowers…

Though the humans
who otherwise might
stop to admire them
can now not be
bothered to notice them.

Mid-Winter [Haiku]

mid-Winter
pretends to be Autumn:
green with leaf linger.

Ice-laden [Haiku]

ice-laden trees:
frigid limbs wish to dip,
but are too stiff.

Bifurcated [Haiku]

body in the temple yard;
mind on distant mountains.

Yin / Yang [Haiku]

shady side:
sight of sunlit mountain
warms one's core.

Winter Afternoon [Haiku]

sun dips behind
buildings; early on a
Winter afternoon.
