Winter Poem

Sun Bands [Haiku]

a dark cloud blocks
the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.

Poison Ivy [Lyric Poem]

Poison Ivy, I think you know
that you will always be my foe.

I can slice your vine, pal-o-mine,
and still end slathered in calamine.

Because I must haul your corpse away,
and on my gloves your oils will stay —
waiting that unexpecting day
when I scratch some tender bit.

Bird’s Eye [Senryū]

the bird's head turns
so one eye is upon me,
something grows cold.

Solid [Haiku]

at day’s end, 
atop the mountain, clouds
look like snowy peaks.

Red [Haiku]

its red cap
gives the mushroom away,
hiding in leaf litter.

Trail & Creek [Haiku]

the trail is straight;
the creek meanders —
trail feet — creek mind.

Icarus Tree [Senryū]

a dead tree
stands above the living;
it didn’t pace itself.
