White Columns [Haiku]

white columns
rise from a mountain lake:
once mighty pines.

Lake Changes [Haiku]

in summer, the tarn
looks like greenish concrete, then
settles to teal glass

Tarn Haiku Trio

I
a stand of pines
from the lake's edge to the
mountain's bald spot
II
dense green vines
wind through dead tree branches
disguising death
III
the mountain lake
refreshes and chills
by sight alone
