Cave Organ [Haiku]

the cave columns 
grow by drips - one particle
at a time

Yellow Shadow

The fallen leaves
of a sheltered tree

form a shadow
made of yellow,

a pointillist shadow
painted yellow,

‘til the wind blows
angled and low

to send that shadow
on its way -

or ‘til the leaves
turn brown and crisp…

whichever comes first.

Piercing Light [Haiku]

in autumn,
sunlight pierces the depths
of the forest

Evergreen [Haiku]

the evergreen’s
time to shine: when the last
leaf has fallen

Wild Grape Monster [Haiku]

wild grape on a wall
is a multi-clawed monster…
in my mind

Autumn City [Haiku]

leaves are falling 
throughout the city, &
someone sweeps them up

One River [Haiku]

foggy Fall morning: 
one bank is clear, one hazy —
both of one river

Contemplation Cave [Haiku]

in the mountainside,
there’s a tiny cave entrance:
a perilous climb

Blue Danube [Haiku]

the blue sky
reflects upon the river,
and they are one

Foggy Autumn [Haiku]

foggy Autumn day.
wet leaves flutter downward,
in surrender
