a dark cloud blocks
the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.

Poison Ivy [Lyric Poem]
Poison Ivy, I think you know
that you will always be my foe.
I can slice your vine, pal-o-mine,
and still end slathered in calamine.
Because I must haul your corpse away,
and on my gloves your oils will stay —
waiting that unexpecting day
when I scratch some tender bit.

Summer Lake [Haiku]
invisible bugs
ripple the lake surface;
from here, it’s mirror.

Dog Day [Haiku]
orange-tinged sky
as a dog day afternoon
draws to a close.

Wake [Haiku]
boat chugs upriver,
slipping from sight, but for
its wake's arrow.

Mountain Mist [Haiku]
hot summer day,
sitting downwind of cascade:
misted by spatter.

Fly [Haiku]
fly in Summer,
buzzes around a cow --
dodging whip-tail.

Chill Induced Memory [Tanka]
the memory
of an outdoor cafe
at city center
comes to me out of the blue,
on a frigid Winter day.
