Cloud Watching [Haiku]

on the hillside, 
amid the wildflowers,
watching clouds shape-shift.

Disappearing Pigeons [Haiku]

a cloud of pigeons 
wheels about in a broad loop;
a thin batch returns.

The Well-Worn Path [Haiku]

a crisp trail
worn into the grass;
i move, butterfly-like.

Huge but Hiding [Haiku]

beyond the city,
a massive mountain looms,
pretending to be clouds.

Gloom [Haiku]

clouds advance in waves:
mighty army on the march
set on spreading gloom.

Breeze-Free Beat [Tanka]

the eternal flame
lunges this way and that;
then -- for an instant --
it stands symmetrically:
only one breeze-free beat.

Quiet Valley [Haiku]

a quiet valley,
sheltered from the world:
flowers rivet monks.
