After the Rain [Haiku]

after Spring rains,
 puddles throw reflections 
  of light-fringed clouds.

Translucent [Haiku]

sunlight shines
 through the butterfly's wing:
  yet, it seems sluggish.

Autumn Light [Haiku]

the sun is low,
but then it never gets high
this time of year.

Green Fairy [Free Verse]

Bohemians
   gathered around 
   the absinthe bottles,
  the light hitting 
   the bottles shone
   a radioactive shade
   of green.

That green light
   threw blotches
  against walls &
 floors & people &
  anything else there
  was to illuminate.

The more they drank,
 the less green the mottling --
  not because the empty glass 
   was clear, &
 didn't refract, or spray green,
   but because the splotches
  turned every color --
   every color there is --
  and the colors danced
   around the increasingly 
  amorphous surfaces.

 Until, at last,
  everyone was asleep,
 and visions of Green Fairies
  danced in their dreams. 

Monsoon Autumn [Haiku]

autumn afternoon:
 swollen clouds cut the light,
  it looks like sundown.

Distant Divergence [Haiku]

under dark clouds;
 yon hills at once bombarded 
  with light- & rainbands.

Shadow Valley [Haiku]

from valley shadow,
 the sun-warmed mountain
  glows more brightly.

Shape Shift [Haiku]

in waning sunlight,
 the shapes of shadows shift
  as boats drift.

Ice Mirage [Haiku]

sun shimmer
in a dense patch looks like
a sheet of ice.

Painting with Clouds [Haiku]

a writhing dragon,
is painted by the sunset
in vivid colors.
