Milky Moonlight [Haiku]

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

Into the Light [Free Verse]

crawling from the cave,
like Plato's untethered shadow man

a portal to perfection,
as perfect as anyplace can be:
meaning, it has depth
&
credibility

the day is cloudy,
and yet it's blinding,
blinding to eyes attuned to 
the light of dancing orange flames,
flames seen secondhand --
bounced off a wall,
a dark, dank wall

what amazing sights
must there be -
out there

don't disappoint me
now

Spines Aglow [Haiku]

the frilly spines
of an iguana catch light,
marring camo

The Sprawl [Tanka]

the rain tree sprawl
endomes the whole street.
folks miss the light show
and its leafy glory,
while enjoying coolness.

Scintillant Stream [Tanka]

scintillant stream,
ever-shifting dance of light:
seemingly random, 
but so seems a music box drum
until one knows its tune

Light on Moss [Haiku]

morning light catches
the moss, and i see it for
the first time

Warm Morning Light [Common Meter]

My walk is in the early hours,
in dawn's buttery light.
There's a gold glint to all that's pale,
whether a wall of white
or waters of a placid lake
or eucalyptus trunks
or on the waving Pampas grass
or on the robes of monks.

And by the time I've lost that light,
the walking hour is done.
And I'll be looking forward to
when next the day is dun.

Beyond the Light [Haiku]

deep in the cavern
just beyond the light's reach
lives what might be
