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.

Rocky Outcrop [Tanka]

the rocky tip
of grass-coiffed outcrop
is all I see,
but the sound of a crow's "CAW!"
comes through loud & clear.

Mountain Miniature [Haiku]

a jutting rock chunk
imitates the mountains
across the valley.

Light Play [Haiku]

light penetrates a fissure, 
illuminating a raw wound in rock.

Toothy Mountain [Haiku]

the clouds retreat,
revealing the jagged spires
up the mountainside.
