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.

Blazing Baronet [Haiku]

a baronet 
 opens its wings to rays
  of morning sun.

Summer Sky [Haiku]

watching the sky,
 as i walk up the hill,
  i trip on a rock.
