Haiku Triad
Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…
The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;
hope floated above…
Like Noah, we wait…
flooding water standing still—
Vultures roost on wires.

Signs of Autumn
pine cones drop like tears
from a weeping willow's bough
autumn's gentle grief
burnt orange cake spread
on the bottom of our shoes
amber hues take hold
gales of wind gust strong
over beds of crimson rust
uncovering seeds
