Yin – Yang World [Haiku]

mountain morning:
 sun-warmed icecaps over
  a valley of night.

Well-lit Leaf [Haiku]

big, busy leaf:
light bullets through,
too fast to process.

Bougainvillea Bright [Haiku]

from the dark, cool room,
 the sunlit bougainvillea
  burns shapes in my sight

Mossy Shore [Haiku]

mossy rocks
catch the afternoon sun:
dark & light facets

Golden Spotlight [Tanka]

early morning 
rays hit the canopy
and fan out
into gold bands of light:
spotlights with no targets

Shadow of Night [Haiku]

a park at night.
the shadows are darker
because of the light

Autumn Afternoon [Haiku]

autumn afternoon.
the sun penetrates deeply,
feeding the grass

Contrast [Haiku]

a patch of leaves.
some: light green and veiny;
others: black blobs

Candle Flicker [Haiku]

in the dim temple,
candlelight flickers,
and bronze moves

Milky Moonlight [Haiku]

milky moonlight
paints all things pale --
all but the shadows
