City Winter [Haiku]

trees, straight & bare, 
line the boulevard. one leaf
blows across the walk.

Stand Strong [Haiku]

overflown banks:
trees stand strong
against the flow.

White Columns [Haiku]

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

“The Blossom” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

Merry, Merry Sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.

Pretty, Pretty Robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Near my bosom.

Quiet [Haiku]

pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

Jacaranda [Haiku]

Jacarandas bloom:
thousands of miles from home,
but no less purple.

Blossom Drop [Haiku]

blossom drops,
fluttering slantwise
into still water.

Early Spring [Haiku]

lake shimmer;
Spring sneaks in early --
trees still bare.

Tough Pink Blooms [Haiku]

flower cluster hangs
through a cold December --
the last leaf lone gone.
