looking spiky and dangerous,
yet soft and comely

Pine & Rose [Lyric Poem]
An evergreen and a red, red rose:
One slowly, but dully, ever grows;
One springs to life only for a short time.
Lifespan pine and beauty rose, apposed?
And risk vice versa? One never knows!

Holdout [Tanka]
a tree’s last blossom
seems to wait til no one
is looking to drop.
what a thing it must be
to see a holdout yield.

Last Cluster [Haiku]
the last cluster
of frangipani flowers
tops a bare tree.
