on a plinth once reserved
for priests & kings.

Not the Face! [Senryū]

a young skink's
vibrant cobalt blue tail
says, "Not the Face!"

Spanish Moss [Haiku]

Spanish Moss drapes
from the bare branches over
the cool blue river.

Big City Moon [Haiku]

in the darkness
beyond the big city lights,
a moon looms.

Water Sound [Haiku]

the sound of rain
and thundering waterfalls:
a cat sleeps soundly.

Rainy Day Raft [Haiku]

a tiny frog
on a rain-soaked leaf,
washed away, leaf-n-all.

Lily Pad Heron [Haiku]

water lilies stand
confidently, while herons
step warily.

Hornbill [Haiku]

perching hornbill:
a plodding half-ton bovine
doesn't merit attention.

Submerge [Haiku]

a turtle
slips into the water:
no sound / no ripple.

Green Fields [Haiku]

the rice fields 
are at their most verdant;
scent of rain.
