the eternal flame
lunges this way and that;

it stands symmetrically:
only one breeze-free beat.

Quiet Valley [Haiku]

a quiet valley,
sheltered from the world:

ancient landscape:
boulders, remnants of mountains,
are strewn about;
prehistoric tribes lived here,
and it looked the same for them.

Summer Sparkle [Haiku]

summer sunlight
sparkles on a blue lake --
always distantly.

Black & Tan [Haiku]

two streams join:
one black and one tan --
the lighter moves on.

Frenetic Idyll [Haiku]

rushing water cuts
through a bucolic scene;
yet, it's still calming.
