Bell Pavilion [Haiku]

Summer night: 
bell pavilion - silent,
but for cricket chirp.

Urban Oasis [Haiku]

stream cascade:
soft water burble drowns out
the city’s noise.

Solitary [Haiku]

solitary flower
bows in a Spring breeze --
then stands upright.

The Wall [Haiku]

young trees curve away
from the ancient wall
of a fallen fortress.

Jagged Coast [Haiku]

rocky fingers
stretch into the sea:
waves crash & spray.

Springfall [Haiku]

mountain springtime:
dust cleared by falling water,
climbers swell & green.

Stone Bridge [Haiku]

old stone bridge:
weeds grow in its cracks,
its river ran dry.

Perfect Fruit [Senryū]

perfect fruit
still hangs on the tree:
surviving temptation.

Bookstore Cat [Senryū]

bookstore cat
sleeps soundly on a book
about dogs.

Stall: A Haiku Quartet

clouds glide in 
like a naval armada,
only to loiter.

the sky is gray,
but no rain comes --
just the threat.

the threat wears thin --
unheeded until
thunder cracks!

a man shakes his fist
at the dense clouds:
a torrent falls.
