Camouflage [Senryū]

tree, wrapped in vines,
shape broken & trunk hidden;
an attempt to blend?

Dizzying [Haiku]

mountain trail:
kicked stone sails, then drops...
out of sight.

Hermitage [Haiku]

hermit climbs the hill:
clouds mask his ascent,
obscure the cavemouth.

Spring’s Story [Haiku]

unfurled buds,
not drooped to gravity,
tell Spring’s story.

Little Dragon [Lyric Poem]

Ancient temple carved with features:
Beasts, men, gods and mythic creatures.
Imagine my surprise when I
Came face-to-face with this lil’ guy.

The lizard did his level best
To stay stock still with puffed-out chest.
To pass for a chiseled dragon,
But couldn’t keep its tail from waggin’.

World Lung [Haiku]

trunk splits to branches
that stretch to the edge
of oxygen’s crossing.

Understory [Haiku]

understory thrives:
light plants & shadow plants
each finds its place.

After Autumn Rain [Haiku]

pavement glistens;
yellow leaves sodden:
nothing moves... but drips.

Something Moves [Haiku]

something moves
through the tall grass --
mystery rump & ears.
