Advancing Forest [Tanka]
the forest stays low, creeping up the valley: like advancing forces, but that hill isn't taken -- season after season.

Canopy [Haiku]
the creek bed is wide, yet dark by dome of trees that stretch for light.

Open & Shut [Common Meter]
I pause in woods one winter day when leaves stick to the ground, and twigs and trunks stand stiff & straight - a breeze the only sound. It's a world without walls or bounds, but one can't see a mile. One's sightline is obscured by trees -- their trunks not single file. A world, at once, open & shut to eyes and ears and mind. But I've never felt so at home, for i'm no lonesome pine.

Town & Country [Haiku]
from the forest hill, the city seems hazy. in the city, same.

Lonely Forest [Haiku]

Where Live the Idyllic Folk? [Sonnet]
In rustic cabins far away from here there live some happy people of the woods. With ruddy cheeks, they're exemplars of cheer. They never visit cities selling goods. They live on what the forest can render, and that's not so much, but it is enough. They tune themselves to nature's vast splendor. In cold, they don skins, but when hot, go buff. Or, perhaps, I lie, and no such people exist in this world or any other. And woods people fuss on matters, fecal -- just like you, I, and all our grandmothers. These cheery, simple woods folk must exist, if only in the mind of this fantasist.
