Cypress Glow [Haiku]

cypress tips
glow with afternoon sun:
yellow for a time.

Green, Green Hills [Haiku]

the green hills,
 lit through monsoon clouds,
  change shape before me.

Green Front [Haiku]

squall line coming:
 the rains will freshen the fort,
  those walls grown green.

Light & Color [Haiku]

light makes greens greener,
and clouds glow brightly; its lack
makes the blues bluer

Green Pond [Haiku]

the green pond
 reflects the green world
  in its own hue. 

Living Backwards [Tanka]

young red leaf,
 on a sapling in Spring,
  slowly grows green.
 doesn't it know it should start green,
  and turn red in the Fall?
