Watcher [Haiku]

a heron surveys 
the gently flowing river
with great patience.

Sundown River [Haiku]

shadowland edges, 
and a liquid metal stripe:
river sunset.

Decisions, Decisions… [Tanka]

the floating leaf
chooses its path around
the island
by not choosing a path
around the island.

Autumn River [Haiku]

tall grass sways
beside the serene river
one warm Fall day.

Lazy Ride [Haiku]

a fallen leaf
rides the river downstream,
twisting lazily.

Misty River [Haiku]

early autumn morn:
fog forms over the river
‘cause the water ‘s “warm.”

Aquatic Boundary [Haiku]

aquatic plants grow 
out to the swift waters,
forming a clean edge.

Placid River [Haiku]

the river’s flow
doesn’t disturb the cloud’s
reflected drift.
