Shade [Haiku]

school of fish 
becomes one super-fish
in a boat's shade.

Sky Fire [Haiku]

orange skies blaze, 
briefly but vibrantly,
people watch the fade.

Town Square in Winter [Haiku]

Winter's eve:
town square vacant;
only the church is lit.

Morning Mystery [Haiku]

winter day dawn:
single set of boot-prints
in fresh fallen snow.

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.
