Haiku

Spring

sheltered in shadow

damp crystals hide from the sun

a desperate ploy

Summer

On a fallen tree

An abandoned star-nosed mole

Cooled by summer breeze

Autumn

Whisper of pages

The library warm and dry

Cold rain coats the world

Winter

Lines swallowed by flakes

The rumble strips give warning

On the unseen road

Pets & People

A pale orange streak

Stolen property dangles

Nine-tenths of the law

Places

Across still surface

An echo travels faster

Choose a good message

Science

Slow orbital dance

Dark sliver consumes the moon

Light consumes in turn

Speculative

Puffs of compressed gas

Stolen from a living world

Lost to the vacuum
