Autumn Afternoon [Haiku]

Autumn afternoon,
light warms a copse of pines;
beyond: crisp blue sky.

Askew [Haiku]

a tree grows, askew;
canopy stretched one way -
wind can’t shake it.

Pinecone [Haiku]

plump pinecone
nested in copper-
colored needles.

Blank Slate [Haiku]

beyond the lone pine;
there is only blank slate
and vast potential.

Pine & Rose [Lyric Poem]

An evergreen and a red, red rose:
One slowly, but dully, ever grows;
One springs to life only for a short time.
Lifespan pine and beauty rose, apposed?
And risk vice versa? One never knows!

Lone Pine [Haiku]

a lone pine stands --
mangled and misshapen --
above other trees.

Evergreen [Haiku]

the evergreen’s
time to shine: when the last
leaf has fallen
