Lotus Patch [Haiku]

a lotus patch
at the lake’s far end,
sneaking required.

Pond Plonk [Haiku]

plonk! - in the pond,
 the ripples awaken 
  something in my mind.

Wasp Moves [Haiku]

the wasp is still;
 the wasp jinks erratically.
  pilgrims break sanctity.  

Seasons [Free Verse]

I

I remember Spring:
   tight and tender buds,
   soon to blossom

clouds -- low & swollen, 
   & rain scent in the air
II

I remember Summers:
   the season of freedom...

and mosquitoes,
   but, also, fireflies

exploration &
   calamine lotion
III

I remember the Fall:
   harvest time

Grain chaff in the air
   axle grease on the wind

Canadian geese
   Honk-Honk-Honk-ing
   in wedge formation
IV

I remember winters:
   snow days

snow drifts

the feel of the first morning
    of the season in which
    one woke up to a blanketing snow,
    having gone to bed with 
    pathetic matted grass

Vanishing Hills [Haiku]

rows of hills,
 each new ridge fades more
  into nothingness.

The Autumn Trail [Haiku]

the autumn woods -
 leafless & grass matted - is
  rife with life, unseen

Winter Landscape [Haiku]

winter landscape
of barren trees & dry grass
warmed by a low sun
