Pulling weeds at dusk...

Pulling weeds at dusk --
a tiny lizard escapes
the next handful.


Pulling weeds at dusk --
winds blow clouds --
white crescent moon.


Pulling weeds at dusk,
I smile at small lizards
who scurry away.

Brown-gray lizard stalks...

Brown-gray lizard stalks
a cricket-- bright-eyed crow
watches every move.

The Lizards and I: Two Haiku

Seeing my shadow, 
lizards flee into tall grass.
I've disturbed the peace!

---------------------------

Bright sun warms grey rock--
the lizard's patterned back
blending in.

Outside pulling weeds, 
a lizard scrambles away
from my shadow.
