Sun Pierced [Haiku]

thunder rumbles —
gray clouds stretch overhead;
sun finds its way through.

Sun Bands [Haiku]

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

Solid [Haiku]

at day’s end, 
atop the mountain, clouds
look like snowy peaks.

DAILY PHOTO: Sunlight Painting Clouds, Corozal

Photograph of clouds, oddly lit, taken in Corozal, Belize.

Winter Sunlight [Tanka]

Photograph of the Pest side of Budapest taken from Gellért Hill.
low winter sun
shines upon the city
while residents
walk shadow-dimmed streets
and fluffy clouds grow angry.

Chinese Painting [Tanka]

Photograph taken at sundown in Vang Vieng, Laos.
sunlight washes out
the distant mountains;
they look like
an old Chinese painting --
ink faded with age.

Martian Mindscape [Free Verse]

Photograph taken at days end atop Gudibande Fort Hill in Karnataka, India.
The light of day's end
brings out the sandy
grit of the arid
landscape.

The light of day's end
matches & compounds
the color of the
desiccated vegetation.

The light of day's end
turns the world
into someplace new --
somewhere I've never
been before.

My body knows this is
nothing like Mars;
my mind does not.

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.
