sunlight washes out
the distant mountains;
they look like
an old Chinese painting --
ink faded with age.

Martian Mindscape [Free Verse]
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.

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.

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.
