Lichens of lion's lore,
incipient and trying to score-
ditch it and die in the core,
stick it right in the horse.
A forest behind a glass
earth and green shades
blended to be artfully pleasing
Moss, lichens, and a twig
composed with a splash of color
in the midst of death lichens come to life
My secnd alternate Tien form of ten syllable, no title
Tien is inspired by Chidiock Tichborne first line of his monosyllabic 'Prime of Youth'
bare granite knuckles
grip the horizon
as whispy whimpy clouds
slide over them
the knuckles are moist
from buffeting the wind
whistling wheezily
through broken skin crags
liver-spot lichens
mar the grey skin
giving away the age of it
within
in the midst of death-
lichens come to life
NOTE
A one line haiku known as a monoku (was the original form of haiku,written vertically) my version is a variation( I introduced here on PS some years back in 2007 )a broken line monoku.
climb slowly little squirrel
cling to the lichens and bark
enjoy your travels, bring home
cheeky souvenirs

“or bust,” an idiom expressing a determination to get something
done or die trying. Used in travels. For example: “Florida or bust”
in the midst of death-
lichens come to life
(moniku)
this summer morning-
azalea perfume hints
& yellows the lawn
(hiku)
with buzzard on high
o'er fields prairie dry
walnut ripen in husks
the afternoon turns to dusk
(quatrain)
When I would no longer fathom the fall
Nor listen to the veery's soulful call,
When I would not see blossoms spread their fare
Alongside grass lichens and maidenhair;
When in lasting peace and bliss I shall lie
Sedately watching this world plying by,
That I couldn't in the maddened race of life
I would from the portals of death enjoy.

Elfin forest,
Hiding in Peru,
Waiting for fog drip
Gnarled trunks,
Lichens, ferns, orchids,
Mossy forest's trolls
Intense tree canopy
Keeping shy mountain gorilla's secrets
Holding raindrops hostage
Perpetual fog,
Adding a mystique
of shadowed magic
Tropical delight
Heavily affected by
Global climate changes
Elfin forest,
Lending her mosses
To lead the way
Let the commerce begin
in moral crimes.
You had been selling the death, daily.
The lichens,
had invaded the tongues.
Speech was blurred and words were gray.
Someone comes knocking
at the door in night. When I
opened , it was moon.
The potter will not fail you
once, writes a blood poem
for the drifters.
In the beginning there
was turbulence in the sea.
Now the boat sails on fins.
Satish Verma
Immutable and silent stands the rock.
Wind and hail has harmed it not.
Gravity’s battle has been fought.
A thousand years to see a day,
born of violent mantle forces,
what end befalls, I cannot say.
Above, the lichens cling in place.
Beneath, the rock chuck burrows.
Loneliness sparks a lack of haste.
Life’s rotation brims with motion,
as the massive stone lives in grace.
The boulder’s unrelenting will,
has won the fiercest race.
Incessant drizzle soak pith
of each and every dense tree
in evergreen forest where
moss, algae, lichens paints lush
hues of green, blue and rich brown
While wet birds forget to sing
glistening snakes search shelter
termites, ants, crawlers, stingers
start climbing slippery trees
inundated forest floor
Near to dusk, a shy sun shaft
reaches decayed fallen log
adding chill to eerie air
a great gray owl looks at me
I count my heart-beats to dawn
