Duck Drift [Haiku]

ducks drift lazily
on water that sparkles
with winter sunlight.

Lakeside Leaves [Haiku]

lakeside leaves are 
turning and dropping, but
no floaters remain.

Snake Fisher [Haiku]

snake wrestles fish
onto rocky home turf, &
blends with sun-warmed stones.

Darkly Still [Haiku]

early morning:
it's still dark & darkly still.
one boat floats through.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats [w/ Audio]

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
   And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
 Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
   And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
   Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
 There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
   And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
   I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
 While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
   I hear it in the deep heart's core. 

Double Rainbow [Haiku]

across the lake,
 two rainbows arch skyward:
  one, a faint echo.
