Algae Patterns (Haiku)

swirled striations 
in the pond algae
reflect floating clouds.

“The Pond” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]

Cold, wet leaves
Floating on moss-coloured water
And the croaking of frogs --
Cracked bell-notes in the twilight.

The Lily [Haiku]

a single lily 
stands out in a pond of pads:
bright to browned.

Lily Ring [Haiku]

ring of lily pads:
crowd around where the frog
plopped into pond.

After the Flood [Haiku]

after the flood,
a lake kills a grove
on its way out.

Drowned Dry [Haiku]

desiccated stalks
jut from standing water:
drowned dry.

Pond Waves [Haiku]

a small pond on a
windy day emulates
undulating seas.

Heron [Haiku]

a perched heron
watches ripples of its
last attempt fade.

Flower Cascade [Haiku]

pink flowers cascade 
over a quiet pond:
feels like Spring

Pond Life [Haiku]

dragonflies zip
from point to point
amid swaying reeds.
