Fluid Movement [Haiku]

floating downstream,
 moving unpredictably:
  a dry leaf. 

Fish Drift Relativity [Haiku]

"the fish's world
 is always in drift,"
  thinks I, from the bank.

The Churn [Free Verse]

The water churns --
   no smooth laminar flow.

Each molecule fights its way
   down the mountain. 

Sloshing up into evaporation, or
    dragged, swirling, across 
     the rocky bottom.

This is no mighty, muddy river
    in a gentle glide.

It's pretty chaos;
    just the kind I'm used to.

Shallow Water [Haiku]

a shallow stream,
 texture everchanging,
  glazes the forest floor.

Scintillant Stream [Tanka]

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