only to dissipate:
drifting to nothing.

Ghostly Pines [Haiku]

foggy mountain:
pine rows become more ghostly,
then vanish entirely.

Cloud Magic [Haiku]

clouds retreat,
revealing a new mountain, then...
vanish it again.

“Parks and Ponds” by Ralph Waldo Emerson [w/ Audio]

Parks and ponds are good by day;
I do not delight
In black acres of the night,
Nor my unseasoned step disturbs
The sleeps of trees or dreams of herbs.

Slipknot [Free Verse]

As I walk through the woods,
I flow through something
As it flows around & against me...

-- Like a slipknot --

I don't know what it is.
I just feel the slightest of drags
As I feel the greatest of exhilarations.

The drag is subtle...

-- Like a slipknot --

What it is in me that slips past
Whatever it is in nature --
I don't know.

But I know there is an interaction,
Of sorts,
Like a free end through a noose...

-- Like a slipknot --

Dark Evening Brown [Senryū]

a Dark Evening Brown
flits about the woods on a
bright morning, Brown.

Snowy Pass [Haiku]

the pass is snowy;
though low country types think it
the cusp of Summer.
