orange-tinged sky
as a dog day afternoon
draws to a close.

socked in by clouds.

Toad’s Time [Senryū]

Greyfield [Lyric Poem]
It wound around the burial mounds
through the soft and seedy sides
of town
And though it was but one foot shallow,
non-townies were swallowed
(and surely drowned)
because that ground was hallowed.
It took souls, lost - never to be found -
then rolled on to the next ghost town.

Stony Ground [Haiku]
hot patch of granite:
from any crack or cranny
something learns to grow.

Burnt [Haiku]
smoky tendrils
rise and sprawl to the void,
so, too, the prayers?
