Fortress [Senryū]

ancient fortress:
tree grows through cracks;
the tree will win.

Muscular [Haiku]

a muscular tree
poses with limbs outstretched;
shrubs are unimpressed.

Fig in the Wall [Lyric Poem]

It doesn't need wide open spaces.
It doesn't need direct sunlight.
No bark-wide chasm through the tombstone --
Gardner, leave that tree alone.

Hey, Gardner, leave that tree alone!
All in all, it's just another fig in the wall.
All in all, we're just a bunch of figs in the wall. 

Fig Tree [Haiku]

an old fig tree, 
gnarled and knotty,
grotesque but strong
