The Flow Slows [Haiku]

seated on the wall,
beside the rushing creek,
the world slows.

The Churn [Free Verse]

The water churns --
   no smooth laminar flow.

Each molecule fights its way
   down the mountain. 

Sloshing up into evaporation, or
    dragged, swirling, across 
     the rocky bottom.

This is no mighty, muddy river
    in a gentle glide.

It's pretty chaos;
    just the kind I'm used to.

Sunlit Whitewater [Haiku]

the river churns;
lit by the mid-day sun --
its foam glows

Churning Water [Haiku]

water roils,
its flow is lost in
chaotic motion
