Dawn

Soft female rain
Is falling in the new day. 
Parched seeds are grateful.

At Peace

The world has turned blue.
While a light mist is rising,
Frogs sing their night song.

End of November

Hickories have turned,
Against the no-color sky,
Bight lemon yellow.

Rain for Sleeping

Distant thunder rolls.
Wet trees glitter in moonlight,
While the soft rain falls.

Cardinal

Visible in dawn,
The Cardinal, wearing red,
Whispered, "Pss pss. Pss."

Those words are a Cardinal language greeting.

Bright sun through droplets
Reveals a dazzling forest  
Of sparkling small trees.

Eclipse

Red-orange darkness
Glows with mystery behind
Black silhouette trees.

Purple Moonlight  --- haiku

Deep purple softness
Blankets the shadowy woods.
Mist swirls as I move.

Lull in the storm haiku

Cold, wild wind is here. 
There is a moment of quiet, 
False lull in the storm.

December haiku

The forest, softened
By the drifting morning fog, 
Slowly awakens.
