Caterpillars [Haiku]

caterpillars
on each branch;
leaves, but memories.

Banana Leaf Ant [Senryū]

an ant on a leaf seems small; 
on a banana leaf -- somehow -- big.

Gust [Haiku]

Photograph taken at Pai Canyon near Pai, Thailand.
Autumn gust
sends leaf fluttering --
cat paws at it.

Soggy [Haiku]

Fallen leaves on the sidewalk after a rain.
fallen leaves, post-rain:
gauge the drizzle by
what crunch remains.

Autumn [Lyric Poem]

The chill is here.
The sky never
bluer.

The colors turn,
with leaves ever
fewer.

Until a last
hanger-on yields
to a weak breeze.

Autumn Light [Haiku]

breeze-twisted leaves
catch the sunlight of an
Autumn afternoon.

Leaf Flutter [Haiku]

Autumn leaves
flip and flutter
onto clear water.

Autumn Rain [Haiku]

wet yellow leaves
stick to the sidewalk
after Autumn rain.

Sound & Silence [Haiku]

crisp leaves rattle in a gust, 
but a chipmunk climbs in silence.

Winter Song [Haiku]

dry leaf rattle:
shaken by a steady breeze:
Winter song.
