Red [Haiku]

its red cap
gives the mushroom away,
hiding in leaf litter.

Trail & Creek [Haiku]

the trail is straight;
the creek meanders —
trail feet — creek mind.

Icarus Tree [Senryū]

stands above the living;

slender-stalked mushroom 
stands straight & tall & still,
but not for long.

sapling grows in boulder,
splitting it in twain;
paper does beat rock.

is not your average tree.
Stillness amid flow?
