Wetland [Haiku]

narrow channel,
waving reeds on each side,
boat glides blindly through.

Orbits [Haiku]

spherical blooms,
arrayed like planets,
bees zip through.

Jacaranda [Haiku]

Jacarandas bloom:
thousands of miles from home,
but no less purple.

Gust [Haiku]

gusting Spring winds:
can the hunkered crow
take to flight?

Cold Rain [Haiku]

cold rain
spatters on granite:
Spring enters.

“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.
