Light Fringed [Haiku]

Setting sun over Rudrasagar Lake in Melaghar at the Neermahal Palace fringes clouds with sunlight.
light-fringed clouds
rob a stately palace
of its splendor.

Gray [Free Verse]

The sky is gray.
The lake is gray.
The city beyond is gray.

Once so big,
The city is now small,
And I fear fog
Might erase it.

Cloud Avalanche [Haiku]

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

Bright Fringed [Haiku]

bright-fringed clouds 
with blackened bellies drift:
summer day sundown.

White on White [Haiku]

angular granite:
softened by snowfall,
erased by cloud.

Shadow Flowers [Haiku]

clouds break up;
light shifts toward
wildflower patch.

Stall: A Haiku Quartet

clouds glide in 
like a naval armada,
only to loiter.

the sky is gray,
but no rain comes --
just the threat.

the threat wears thin --
unheeded until
thunder cracks!

a man shakes his fist
at the dense clouds:
a torrent falls.
