plays with shape & shadow
on a sunlit leaf.

like staggering figures:
soon swallowed in fog.

Slipknot [Free Verse]

As I walk through the woods,
I flow through something
As it flows around & against me...

-- Like a slipknot --

I don't know what it is.
I just feel the slightest of drags
As I feel the greatest of exhilarations.

The drag is subtle...

-- Like a slipknot --

What it is in me that slips past
Whatever it is in nature --
I don't know.

But I know there is an interaction,
Of sorts,
Like a free end through a noose...

-- Like a slipknot --

Enshrouded Mountains [Haiku]

the mountain trail
is engulfed in clouds;
a loud owl hoot.

Happy Fungi [Haiku]

the forest floor
is damp and dark, and
mushrooms are happy.

The Spring Thickens [Haiku]

Spring has arrived!
the view from glade to glade
through woods, is no more.

Mountain Forest [Haiku]

a cave-like forest:
then valley and sun align,
and one ‘s outside-in.

Rain Begins [Haiku]

rain patters
onto the leaves overhead:
spring rain is here!

Synchronicity [Haiku]

a walk in the park:
i breathe, we breathe,
 then we are breath.
