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?

Dizzying [Haiku]

mountain trail:
kicked stone sails, then drops...
out of sight.

Stillness [Haiku]

sage sits on stone
until he and the stone
can’t be told apart.

A Rugged Coast [Free Verse]

Limestone lumps
Karst columns
Dot the waters,
Like ancient wreckage --
Wrack & ruin
Slung near & far
From coastal homelands;
A landscape torn asunder
And littered about,
But beloved for the beauty
Of its scraggy, weedy
Weathered rock.

Grass & Rock [Haiku]

a shoot sprouts
in a shallow divot,
on the rocky cliff.
