Big City Moon [Haiku]

in the darkness
beyond the big city lights,
a moon looms.

Water Sound [Haiku]

the sound of rain
and thundering waterfalls:
a cat sleeps soundly.

PROMPT: Weather

What is your favorite type of weather?

Depends on whether I’m outside or inside. If the former, I favor the partly cloudy to sunny range, depending on how brutal or gentle the sun is, respectively. If the latter, I’ve got nothing against a cleansing torrential downpour.

Lily Pad Heron [Haiku]

water lilies stand
confidently, while herons
step warily.

Hornbill [Haiku]

perching hornbill:
a plodding half-ton bovine
doesn't merit attention.

The Other Shore [Free Verse]

Standing on the bank, 
Looking at the other shore --

A hundred meters or a mile?
Does it matter,
In such a fast flow?

If I were to swim for it,
Launching myself into
Those cold, choppy waves,
Which would I reach first:
The other shore, or
The Falls, downstream?

Submerge [Haiku]

a turtle
slips into the water:
no sound / no ripple.
