Sun Pierced [Haiku]

thunder rumbles —
gray clouds stretch overhead;
sun finds its way through.

Banana Leaf Ant [Senryū]

an ant on a leaf seems small; 
on a banana leaf -- somehow -- big.

Rogue Ducks [Senryū]

on the royal lake
in breach of edict.

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.
