flowers are rock stars: standing tall & proud before the swaying grass.

Waiting [Free Verse]
Waiting.
A space between.
Neither doing,
nor resting.
There's something in waiting
that lies beyond being.
An expectation without promise:
As with Vladimir & Estragon,
waiting on Beckett's Godot, or
the Old Man waiting
at Gao's Bus Stop,
There may not be a payoff.
Whatever it is in "waiting" that
distinguishes it from "being"
or "resting,"
it sucks!
All the excitement of expectation,
nullified by the possibility
that nothing will happen --
nothing good, nothing bad...
just a soul-sucking nothing.

in stone mosaics,
nature’s hand is more artful

Spider Hide [Senryū]

Ice Mirage [Haiku]
Painting with Clouds [Haiku]
a writhing dragon,
is painted by the sunset
in vivid colors.
