Green Forest [Haiku]

thin canopy woods.
light hits the grassy ground
and it glows green

In Tall Grass [Free Verse]

Do you feel unease,
walking in tall grass?

Visceral tension?

A primal impression from a time
when a wounded beast
[on its belly, &
with labored breath]
retained enough energy
for one last lurch
to impale its hunter?

A raspy groan or bloody burble,
and the jerky wave of the grass
might be all the warning one got
before 
The End.

The Sound of Dry [Haiku]

grass in winter
rustles with such tight clacks;
 i hear its dryness

Grassy Trail [Haiku]

the grassy part line 
disappears up ahead,
before the cliff

Ruins in the Tall Grass [Free Verse]

Nature dresses up the detritus 
of our fallen civilizations.

After all but the most resolute
stonework has crumbled,

cool faces of stone
having sloughed off to
leave rugged, pitted rock,

all that stands testament 
to life is the tall grass
that sways in the wind.

Grazing Bull [Haiku]

Snake Country [Haiku]

in snake country
each step is now
