Staggering [Haiku]

hill slope trees
like staggering figures:
soon swallowed in fog.

PROMPT: Excited

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

Going for a walk this morning. (I’m like a dog that way…. except I don’t pee during my walks… usually.)

Nature Reclaims [Lyric Poem]

All it takes is one thin crack, and
A fine flurry of blowing seed.
And nature takes back all that land --
Wall-to-wall with growing weeds.

Magpie [Haiku]

the magpie walks
with head hung low,
fooling no one.

Monsoon Break [Haiku]

after many days 
of dreary clouds & rain:
blue skies!

Ghostly Pines [Haiku]

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