"Haiku are meant to evoke an emotional response from the reader ... to light the spark that triggers creative rumination ... They act as literary manifestations ... visions of nature’s seasonal modulations ... They're emotionally tinged words, barely perceptible sensory flickers ... literary etchings of lucid visions transposed to the minds of its readers ... They're meant to act as sensory catalysts ... like the passing of a penciled baton laid out upon a piece of paper that a reader might grasp for in their mind's eye ... all of which prompts the reader to continue exploring the sensory experience elicited from the writers pen ... This is how the literary sketching of poets are intended to function ... as creative stimulants with which readers can draw from and into their own artistic idioms ... from that lucid space within their heads ... where their minds eye can spark their own creative visions"

From my Willamette National Forest Hovel #18

a weathered season

the age of fall unfolding

browned ferns       fall buds

ferns droop under hard wet woe

dawn leaves   fern frost blossoms

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest #15

moonlit mountain winds

rushing through valley nostrils

shrieking treetop breeze

Yukon #4

iconic cabin by day

 wilderness symbology

 last nite a campsite

From my hovel in the Willamette National Forest #16

swirling dervish

blown upwards, climbing sunbeams

treelined scattered smoke

Letting go

I drop like rain

my destination unknown

let go   s-p-l-a-t-t-e-R
