Flower Fall [Haiku]

rain-laden blossom
falls… lands with a sound,
in the mud.

Bee [Lyric Poem]

I see the humble bumble bee, 
Or should I say I see its rump.
It snugged in, made itself cozy --
To get away it's far too plump.

Cliff’s Edge Poppy [Haiku]

at cliff's edge,
the swaying red poppy,
lures one closer.

Blue & Yellow [Haiku]

spring gentians
twirl amid buttercups
on a green hilltop.

Cannonball Tree [Haiku]

the cannonball tree:
blooms bright & intricate,
but never delicate.

Bonsai [Haiku]

a bonsai tree:
gnarled & twisted,
yet so strong.

Leaf Thief [Haiku]

a bird absconds
with a tree's last few leaves
for its Winter nest.

Rough Edges [Haiku]

in springtime,
wildflowers soften
a stony landscape.

Yew [Lyric Poem]

Oh, the Yew tree --
Such a beauty!...
But on that Yew,
You'd best not chew:
It'll kill you painfully.
