sunlight fires up
one patch of fall color
engulfed by shadelands

Late Day Sun [Haiku]

late day sunlight
fires the yellow temple top
while shadows harden

Cloud Palette [Haiku]

the setting sun 
paints clouds with a broad palette,
bright white to ink black

Light on Moss [Haiku]

morning light catches
the moss, and i see it for
the first time

Warm Morning Light [Common Meter]

My walk is in the early hours,
in dawn's buttery light.
There's a gold glint to all that's pale,
whether a wall of white
or waters of a placid lake
or eucalyptus trunks
or on the waving Pampas grass
or on the robes of monks.

And by the time I've lost that light,
the walking hour is done.
And I'll be looking forward to
when next the day is dun.

Sunlit Whitewater [Haiku]

the river churns;
lit by the mid-day sun --
its foam glows

Bright Heights [Haiku]

sun-warmed rooftop,
clouds down in the valley --
i breathe in bright heights
