Icicle Lifecycle [Haiku]

icicles dangle
over a rushing stream;
by noon, only stream

Scintillant Stream [Tanka]

scintillant stream,
ever-shifting dance of light:
seemingly random, 
but so seems a music box drum
until one knows its tune

Icicles [Haiku]

icicles drip
into a fast flowing stream;
i vow to follow

Sunlit Whitewater [Haiku]

the river churns;
lit by the mid-day sun --
its foam glows

Calming Chaos [Haiku]

water swirls
around smooth, wet rocks,
entrancing me

POEM: Downstream Movement

everything is one thing.
the way we are rivers.
and all things are nothing;
as takers are givers.

i'm flow-er and flow-ee --
twisting as I'm drifting,
not fancy or showy 
nor highly uplifting.

just a leaf on a stream,
bumping into others,
gliding through a fond dream
with sisters and brothers.
