Empty Pasture [Haiku]

in woods' shade, 
cattle sit or stand, &
file barn-ward at dusk.

Anyone Home? [Lyric Poem]

I came across a turbinate shell
While walking forest, glade, and dell.
With fingernail, I gave a tap
To learn if its tenant was in nap.

Foggy Forest [Haiku]

fog floats in;
rows of trees consumed
by whiteness.

Guileless Hibiscus [Free Verse]

translucent hibiscus:
keeps its secrets
in its folds;
anywhere petals
don't double over,
the light shines through.

hanging face down --
pistil dangling --
pockets emptied by
gravity.

the jungle beyond blurs.

Golden Grass [Haiku]

Winter drains color
from the barren woods, but
tall grass turns gold.

Sneaky Trees [Senryū]

it seems trees sneak --
in ones and twos -- up the hill,
as the woods watch.

Into the Last Light [Haiku]

leaving the forest,
see the last light of the day
warm the hilltop.
