Winter’s Long Shadow [Haiku]

in the mountains,
winter always looms nearby:
green hills, or not.

Gloom [Haiku]

clouds advance in waves:
mighty army on the march
set on spreading gloom.

Breeze-Free Beat [Tanka]

the eternal flame
lunges this way and that;
then -- for an instant --
it stands symmetrically:
only one breeze-free beat.

Spider Hibiscus [Haiku]

spider hibiscus
dangles over the pond;
like an ornate lure.

Kapok [Haiku]

the stout limbs
of a kapok tree,
stretch immovably.

Stony Ground [Haiku]

from stony ground,
a dense cluster of yellow
grows defiantly.

Summer Sparkle [Haiku]

summer sunlight
sparkles on a blue lake --
always distantly.

Dandelion Spring [Haiku]

fields of yellow
through glades and pastures:
dandelions are here!
