Cherubic Figurine [Haiku]

mountain forest trail:
cherubic figurine
cheers weary hikers.

Dizzying [Haiku]

mountain trail:
kicked stone sails, then drops...
out of sight.

Tree Flight [Free Verse]

On a hike,
I come upon a tree
Raised up on its roots,
As if in mid-stride --
A long, cartoonish stride
That stretches across the trail.

But the tree doesn't stir --
No matter how quietly I wait;
No matter how long I wait.

Oh, how I wish to catch the tree
As it flees.

The Flood [Haiku]

muddy streets,
after the flood:
bare feet squish.

The Well-Worn Path [Haiku]

a crisp trail
worn into the grass;
i move, butterfly-like.

Enshrouded Mountains [Haiku]

the mountain trail
is engulfed in clouds;
a loud owl hoot.
