Safe Distance [Haiku]

from the mountain,
one can see the city, but
not feel its chaos.

Two Rivers Merge [Tanka]

two rivers merge:
the smaller, lighter branch
seems shut out, but
the bigger river moves
onward a lighter shade.

Sunny Side [Haiku]

light on my face,
i look across the dark valley
to sun-fringed mountains.

Bumping Gunwales [Haiku]

empty boats
bump gunwales
in still air.

Spring Break [Haiku]

distant hills
are now green & rain clouds
have fragmented.

“Dust of Snow” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change in mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Backdrop [Haiku]

a snowy mountain.
a church, broad-shouldered & bright,
looks cold & bantam.
