River Boulders [Haiku]

Photograph of a green pool surrounded by boulders in Taiwan's Taroko Gorge.
boulder-strewn gorge:
what ancient waters could move
what now can't be budged?

Trickling Creek [Haiku]

creek that trickles
through a stark winterscape —
days from riverhood.

One Day… [Haiku]

Photograph of the Main River as it flows through Frankfurt am Main.
a plank of wood
floats downriver past houses
clustered on the bank.

River Taco [Lyric Poem]

Photograph of Hippopotamus in the Chobe River, between Botswana and Namibia.
We kayak where lives Hippopotamus,
And hope it isn't submerged, a-bottom us.
With kayak a quite crunchy hard shell --
Us: savory filling that screams and yells, --
We'll be a three-bite river taco to hell.

River Mind [Haiku]

the river widens,
slows / stopping, in places;
so goes my mind.

River Fog [Haiku]

Winter mornings:
fog forms on the river --
moments numbered.
Fog on the Mississippi River in New Orleans.

The Deeps [Lyric Poem]

Big Creek in Vickery Creek Park, Atlanta.
A jutting rock
splits the river,
diverging streams
never wither,
but speed around --
smoothly flowing,
still gaining speed --
never slowing,
until they reach
the deeps.
