lean street kitten:
face much older than its
scrawny body.

Winter View [Senryū]
with trees bare, one sees
what Spring won't reveal:
monkeys don't care.

Lying in Wildflowers [Haiku]
Muddy Bottom [Free Verse]
Sinuous channels
cut through the
river's muddy
bottom,
carrying clear water
ever downward
- ever onward.
From fortress walls
it's all been seen --
drought and flood,
but something always
trickled through.
As it was before those
stones were stacked.
As it will be when the
last rubble crumbles
into uncut
dust & rock.

Two Ways to Go [Haiku]
highway parts landscape;
butterflies jink and loiter
as cars speed through.

Nomad [Free Verse]
One who doesn't feel
a lot at home anywhere
Begins to feel a little
at home everywhere.
He sees not strangeness
in strangers --
No more than he sees
in himself.
Any one place is not
greater nor lesser
than anywhere else.
Lands of gold and riches
are as likely devoid of
authenticity - of soul -
as impoverished places
are dripping with it.

Stony Ground [Haiku]
wildflowers bloom
-- sheltered by boulders --
on stony ground.
