End of November

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

October frogs sing.
Grandmother's face glows golden.
Longing reveals truth.

Afternoon Rain

Hard rain is falling.
Dogs are hiding from thunder.
The storm will soon pass.

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.

Waiting

Planets out of line,
Away from their conjunction; 
There is no message.

Purple Moonlight  --- haiku

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

December haiku

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