Spring Snow [Haiku]

"snow? in mid-Spring!"
its stay is short, but is felt
in the porter's bones.

Cold Stream [Haiku]

Spring flows:
frigid and silt gray --
rush down the mountain.

Rough Edges [Haiku]

in springtime,
wildflowers soften
a stony landscape.

Rainy Rice Field [Haiku]

rain patters
in the rice paddy;
a frog croaks.

Grass & Rock [Haiku]

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

Stony Landscape [Haiku]

in the Springtime,
wildflowers grow around
stones and boulders.

Snowy Mountains [Haiku]

across the lake,
the snowy mountains stand
in denial of Spring.

Ambiguous Spring [Free Verse]

The copse of yellow-green
trees isn't sure whether it's
Spring or Fall.

(It's Spring.)

The breeze coming off the
snowy mountains across the valley
thinks its winter.

Only the wildflowers &
some feeling I have inside
know it's Spring.

Thistle [Haiku]

heavy-headed thistles
sway in the cow pasture,
bees read their motion.

Grazing [Haiku]

horses graze upon
dandelions and green grass,
under snowy heights.
