Night Heron [Senryū]

a night heron,
up & about at sunrise,
like diehard revellers.

Jolt [Senryū]

on a narrow ridge,
covered with fine dust,
my foot slips. I’m awake!

Crows in a Row [Haiku]

curb crows
stand in a row.
what’s the sky say?

Budding [Senryū]

budding limbs:
vibrant growth unseen from
the city beyond.

Lil Beaming Faces [Senryū]

sun to flowers, 
“now that I have your
attention… shine!”

Pollinator [Haiku]

the bee wallows 
in pollen like a drunk
sprawls on a bar’s floor.

Moody Sunflower [Haiku]

the sunflower 
that bows its head in the sun
feels pensive.

Future River [Haiku]

the river trickles.
but its broad shoulders tell
 of expectations. 

Distant Stare [Senryū]

eyeing the mountain
like it’s defeated you once,
and may again.

Yielding [Senryū]

the grass sways,
while skyscrapers stand stiffly:
so impressive, the grass!
