Mangrove Movement [Haiku]

grasses sway,
 the egret stalks, & even
  tree roots seem to crawl.

Melancholy Autumn [Haiku]

wistful autumn days:
 i look up to the blue sky
  from the tawny grass.

Flower Divas [Haiku]

flowers are rock stars:
 standing tall & proud before 
  the swaying grass.

Autumn River [Haiku]

tall grass sways
beside the serene river
one warm Fall day.

Grass Patch [Haiku]

in commonplace grass:
a hidden delicacy
for tiny birds.

Autumn In [Haiku]

the air is crisp,
the grass is green:
autumn begins.

Proof of Life [Lyric Poem]

Something shakes the high grass,
   what it is I can't say.
 I see flowers tremble,
    near a part-line splay.

I hear dry stems rattle
   to some darting moves.
 But a creature's existence
   still remains unproved.

Maybe it's delirium,
   or a trick of the wind.
 I catch no flash of fur
    on which my claim to pin.

Even from the watchtower,
   my grounds are circumstantial.
 I can't give proof of life --
    at least not that's substantial.

Deer in Grass [Haiku]

deer of summer -
 who'd blend with Fall's tawny grass -
  stand out.

Spring Rains [Haiku]

lush tall grass
 waves in the breeze, preceding
  the day's spring rains
