Spring [Haiku]

Nature writes “Spring”
in colorful blooms, even
over rough bark.

Red Maple [Tanka]

early Spring seed pods
of Red Maple hold tight
- patiently —
til one day in late Spring:
they’ll drop, spin, and fly.

Fogless Fog [Haiku]

white blossoms 
seen through still bare trees:
looks like fog, sans fog.

Winter Springs [Haiku]

Photograph of the Beitou hot springs outside of Taipei.
an eerie fog
weaves through the trees:
Winter hot springs.

Where Trees End [Senryū]

where the trees end,
a colony grows in a
cancerous fashion.

Reflection [Haiku]

as if viewing the painting
by trees on water

ices over acorns:
