in the Springtime,
wildflowers grow around
stones and boulders.

Thistle [Haiku]
heavy-headed thistles
sway in the cow pasture,
bees read their motion.

Evergreen? [Tanka]
"the trees are green!"
except when blue, white, or black:
in morning sun,
in peak sun, in moonlight,
under dense clouds, or no clouds.

Death of a Stout Tree [Common Meter]
Oh, those high waters are rising;
They've spilled their banks in flood,
Slouching toward the Tree of Life:
Its roots immersed in mud.
That tree is just so stout & straight --
Unambitious of height --
Not man nor beast could knock it down,
Regardless of their might.
But just a long soak of its roots --
A gift of too much good --
And then a well-timed gust of wind
Will turn that tree to wood.

Willows [Haiku]
willows dangle
over flowing waters:
reaching not touching.

Strong Bow [Haiku]
a hilltop tree,
bowed as if wind-shaped,
won’t budge for a breeze.
