Green Hills [Haiku]

the hills are greening,
after days of endless rain;
the landscape, edgeless.

Grazers [Senryū]

the herd grazes
as Spring rains start to fall;
none looks up.

Huge but Hiding [Haiku]

beyond the city,
a massive mountain looms,
pretending to be clouds.

“Acquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Skyline [Haiku]

from across the bay,
the skyline looks dim; then, it's
glowing on your face.

Flower Cascade [Haiku]

pink flowers cascade 
over a quiet pond:
feels like Spring

“Ascending Happiness Plateau” by Li Shangyin [w/ Audio]

At day's end, feeling ill-at-ease,
Riding a cart to the plateau.
The setting sun fires glorious skies,
But a yellow dusk is coming.

Lightness [Haiku]

an egret alights 
on a coracle boat
without nudging it.
