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.

Marching Macaques [Haiku]

macaques on the march:
lockstep / shoulder-to-shoulder;
 a crash in the trees.

Asphalt Fault [Haiku]

a road parts the woods,
 one lane splits up nature...
  or does it?

The Dead Space [Lyric Poem]

The trees will soon be barren, all.
 It is that time of year -- the Fall.

The understory never was,
 and can't now house the insect buzz.

And, so, the woods stand silently --
 nothing treads in peace, nor violently.

It's empty; devoid of motion:
 life hides below, as in Oceans.

It does feel like we're out to sea -
 a strange place where both sides are lee.

And - so - we're stuck, we can't move on,
 but can see promise over yon.

Understory Lore [Tanka]

in a thriving wood,
 sits a barren patch of 
  understory.
 oh what tales locals tell
  about the patch that can't grow!

Deer Pair [Haiku]

for any deer pair, 
there’s one cautious,
& one obstinate.
