Garden Lanterns [Haiku]

legs in leaf litter,
garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

PROMPT: Less of

Daily writing prompt
What could you do less of?

Contemplating the unknowable.

Winter Woods [Haiku]

bare branches,
in the Winter forest,
look frost-covered.

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Positive? Negative? Who’s to say? Like the Taoist farmer, I’ll withhold judgement.

PROMPT: Animals

Daily writing prompt
Do you ever see wild animals?

Sure, I just saw a bird fly past my window, and I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t domesticated.

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.
