Winter View [Senryū]

Photograph of a family of macaques on a wall at Gudibande Fort in Karnataka, India.
with trees bare, one sees
what Spring won't reveal:
monkeys don't care.

Winter Woods [Haiku]

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

City Winter [Haiku]

trees, straight & bare, 
line the boulevard. one leaf
blows across the walk.

Town Square in Winter [Haiku]

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

Still Waters [Haiku]

Winter morn: 
still waters reflect each twig
of bare trees.

Windswept [Haiku]

windswept tree
on the rocky hilltop:
bare and bended.

Cliff Tree [Haiku]

a barren tree
clings to a cliff face;
winds have nothing to shake.

Gnarled & Nude [Haiku]

frangipani
have dropped leaves & blossoms,
& stand gnarled & nude.

Temple Tree [Haiku]

a barren tree
stands in the temple yard:
winter’s guardian.

Barren Hill [Haiku]

the trees are bare;
winter winds picked them clean.
a bird lands, chirps, & flees.
