Sky Fire [Haiku]

orange skies blaze, 
briefly but vibrantly,
people watch the fade.

“The Lilly” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble Sheep a threat’ning horn;
While the Lilly white shall in Love delight,
Nor a thorn, nor a threat, stain her beauty bright.

Town Square in Winter [Haiku]

Winter's eve:
town square vacant;
only the church is lit.

Morning Mystery [Haiku]

winter day dawn:
single set of boot-prints
in fresh fallen snow.

Patience [Haiku]

perched egret
clears a window in pond scum,
and waits — statue-like!

“Sorrow” by Edna St. Vincent Millay [w/ Audio]

Sorrow like a ceaseless rain
Beats upon my heart.
People twist and scream in pain, --
Dawn will find them still again;
This has neither wax nor wane,
Neither stop nor start.

People dress and go to town;
I sit in my chair.
All my thoughts are slow and brown:
Standing up or sitting down
Little matters, or what gown
Or what shoes I wear.

Shophouse Row [Senryū]

shophouse row
infinity of portals:
private, but not too...
