Sneaky [Haiku]

nothing moves 
on a Summer day,
but sneaky clouds.

Doghead Cloud [Haiku]

Taken on the road between Cao Bang and the Pác Bó loop in Northern Vietnam.
doghead cloud
pops up over the hill;
as bike speeds along.

Dragonhead [Tanka]

dragonhead
rises up out of a cloud,
over the city.
how many see the cloud,
but not the dragon?

Cloud Avalanche [Haiku]

clouds fill the valley:
a gauzy avalanche
in slow motion.

Lost in a Fog [Free Verse]

Lost
in a foggy wood.

all the trees alike,
no long view,
no hint of the sun's position...
(or existence.)

just the vertical stripes of
straight pinetree trunks --
like the bars
of the cell
of a giant --
laid against a fluffy white
backdrop.

I can scurry between
the bars, like a mouse,
but am still lost
and still caged.

Ceiling’s Edge [Haiku]

cloud ceiling,
almost touched atop a hill,
parts in the distance.

Mutual Drift [Free Verse]

Lying back on the water,
Peering into a cloud,

I shift like driftwood --
rocking and rising,
rolling and dipping.

As I stare at the cloud,
It seems to stare back.

It drifts - suspiciously -
Or maybe I'm drifting
And it is still --

In truth, we're both drifting,
And neither of us has
The mental energy to be
Suspicious.

Faux Ice [Haiku]

the low morning sun
burns through gray clouds; the
still lake looks iced over

Dead Tree Stillness [Haiku]

clouds drift upon
mirror clear waters;
dead tree stillness.
