Haiku and Tanka from Big Sur

sung to sleep by
sea lions
above the jade green surf

mist creeps up the
mountain from the
silver sea

hunting jade
among greygreen
sea stones
lost in white
mist magic

Big Sur Reverie

new sky tercet

the sky is Agnes
Martin striping her canvas
with skybluepinkmist

haiku

so many dreams of
spiders dwelling in dark rooms
weaving crystal webs

rain-walking sunday
morning without umbrella
nostalgia in mud
