Honey Bee [Haiku]

honey bee at work
 on flowers still dripping 
   from Spring showers.

Spring Rains [Haiku]

lush tall grass
 waves in the breeze, preceding
  the day's spring rains

Trickle Tickle [Haiku]

clouds scrape hill.
 will rain be tickled out
  as clouds pass over?

Spiral Ginger [Haiku]

ginger blossom
 looks cleaner before
  the rain.

Green Front [Haiku]

squall line coming:
 the rains will freshen the fort,
  those walls grown green.

Midsummer Masquerade [Haiku]

rainy summer day
 masquerades as early spring,  
  while noon plays dusk.

A Poor Place to Be [Lyric Poem]

A turned field on a cloudy day.
 A clapboard shack, with threat of rain.

Oh, it's so dark and gloomy -
 a rickety roost, not so roomy.

Staring out the window, wondering:
 was that sound grumble or thundering?

Grumble of stomach, thunder of sky?
 And I can't see out this bad eye. 

Imposing Clouds [Tanka]

imposing clouds
 seem to hover over
  the palace,
 but then one sees the drift,
 and they are drifting nearer.

Season of Rain [Haiku]

boot sinks in mud.
 rain halts; it rains some more.
  dry? vaguely recalled.
