a shade of orange
that doesn’t exist in nature…
yet - there it is!

Lake Ice [Lyric Poem]
Sun-sparkles on the lake’s far end
look icy cool beneath blue skies,
but Winter shivers, I suspend,
because late Spring is telling lies.

Garden Lanterns [Haiku]
legs in leaf litter,
garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

Winter Woods [Haiku]
bare branches,
in the Winter forest,
look frost-covered.

Ripples [Haiku]
through a window:
first ripples of a Spring rain
seen on a pond.

Passing Buddha [Lyric Poem]
The train is speeding down the line.
Gold Buddha glints in the sunshine.
Jarring is the train whistle’s whine,
we plunge into a dark tunnel.

Green Hills [Lyric Poem]
So many hills I have seen
That grow so soft and thick and green.
Though jagged rocks sit down below
The grass and shrubs and weeds that grow
Through cracks and gaps, in mud patches --
Sprawling wide from tight-knit batches
That stone cannot constrain or kill.

Rushed [Haiku]
through the Autumn,
one tree holds leaves longer,
then drops them faster.

Rain Splotch[Haiku]
chilly winter day,
prismatic splotch in sky—
no bow, no ring.
