Mountain Life [Haiku]

in misty mountains,
 lichen & moss carpeted,
  two mushrooms stand tall.

Jewelwing [Haiku]

on a maple leaf,
 a jewelwing stands - still.
  it'd blend, if not so blue.

A Dog Day Ends [Haiku]

a dog day ends,
 pine needles silhouetted
  against orange sky.

Autumn Shore [Haiku]

cool blue skies, &
 dry grass on the hillside --
  seashore in Autumn

Footprints [Haiku]

footprints in stone --
 outside the temple; how do
  Buddhists step so hard?

Swimming Turtle [Haiku]

on a fine spring day,
 a turtle swims leisurely
  in sun-warmed waters.

Grass Waves [Haiku]

when calmness hushes
 the Spring winds, the grass still
  waves off the departed.

Ripples [Haiku]

with back to tree,
 i watch feeding fish ripple
  the mirrored pond.

Christmas Orchid [Haiku]

nothing says Christmas
 like and orchid blooming 
  in December.
