Pleasant Valley [Lyric Poem]

In the narrow valley
Traversed by a cool stream,
Life is but a pleasant,
And ever shady, dream.

Feet within the waters,
But mind up in the sky,
Nothing can upend one,
Nor kill what cannot die.

Seasonless [Haiku]

spring green to the right; 
tawny stalk stubble on the left
a seasonless dreamworld?

Dancing Shadows[Haiku]

a barren tree
paints dancing shadows
on the sandy canyon.

Post-Harvest Haze [Haiku]

hazy valley:
after the harvest,
the fields are burnt.

Winter Sky Fire [Haiku]

the sky is afire,
and, yet, i can see my breath
 on chill winter air.

Sunrise Fisherman [Haiku]

sunrise orange
sparkles on the lake;
lone fisher casts nets
