temple wall
overgrown with weeds;
idols kept pristine.

Green Hills [Lyric Poem]
So many hills I have seen
That grow so soft and thick and green.
Though jagged rocks sit down below
The grass and shrubs and weeds that grow
Through cracks and gaps, in mud patches --
Sprawling wide from tight-knit batches
That stone cannot constrain or kill.

Weeds [Haiku]
summer grasses
wave atop a once mighty fort
that's gone to seed.

Stone Bridge [Haiku]
old stone bridge:
weeds grow in its cracks,
its river ran dry.

Nature Reclaims [Lyric Poem]
All it takes is one thin crack, and
A fine flurry of blowing seed.
And nature takes back all that land --
Wall-to-wall with growing weeds.

Growing in Stone [Haiku]
from old stone ruins
grow hardy weeds, raising
flowery heads skyward.
