fly in Summer,
buzzes around a cow --
dodging whip-tail.

makes great shelter;
rolling boulders
make monkey paste:

Whiplash Weather [Free Verse]
Mountains are the
Lamborghini of weather --
from gray and dismal to
gloriously sunny
and back again
in record time.
It may rain and the droplets
burn off before noon,
leaving no trace of
the gloom.
One day may feel
multiple ways before
the sun goes down.
The human mind isn't
built for such whiplash
emotional experience.

Disappointed Sparrow [Kyōka]
birdbath grows from
fungus on a dead log;
flitting sparrow
is disappointed to find
no water remains within.

Winter Blossoms [Senryū]
Winter plum blossoms
try to trick mind and eye;

Spring Cascade [Haiku]
Spring waterfall
grows by the day as ice --
somewhere -- shrinks.
