Palace Pavilion [Haiku]

late afternoon sun
penetrates the pavilion —-
causing napper’s turn.

Lake Ice [Lyric Poem]

Sun-sparkles on the lake’s far end
look icy cool beneath blue skies,
but Winter shivers, I suspend,
because late Spring is telling lies.

Garden Lanterns [Haiku]

legs in leaf litter,
garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

Long Shadow [Haiku]

Winter sun
casts long shadows
through dead grass.

Autumn Light [Haiku]

breeze-twisted leaves
catch the sunlight of an
Autumn afternoon.

Light Fringed [Haiku]

Setting sun over Rudrasagar Lake in Melaghar at the Neermahal Palace fringes clouds with sunlight.
light-fringed clouds
rob a stately palace
of its splendor.

That Time of Day [Tanka]

once a day
light from the setting sun gleams
off the gold Buddha,
and shines through a window
across the boulevard.

Edge of Weather [Haiku]

Winter day:
bright sunlight at cloud's end --
glassy river.

Golden Grass [Haiku]

Autumn sunlight
strikes dry pampas grass
and it flares gold.
