Question Tree [Haiku]

one strange tree
curls like a question mark:
Autumnal forest.

Surrender [Lyric Poem]

Let the flood sweep 
one away — out
of the shallows,
into the deeps.
Don’t ever cry;
Don’t ever weep;
Just feel the speed
Carry one on.

Autumn Light [Haiku]

breeze-twisted leaves
catch the sunlight of an
Autumn afternoon.

Autumn Passing [Haiku]

each passing day
more yellow carpets the ground,
more blue shows through.
