in the park leaves swirl twirl around to a shrike’s call through the bamboos in the cooling breeze a hint of sun a couple embraces under the weeping willow the colors of fall one ant comes to our picnic, then ant ant ant ant ant |
squirrels play in the now dry stream --the toddler’s laugh still afternoon the bamboo’s creak so like my own as we leave tree shadows lengthen into autumn ❊ |
summer rain-
the toddler's mouth opens to taste it monsoon- a lone paper boat spins into rain song New Year’s Eve fireworks lighten the sky-- fireflies, the ground tattered cobwebs filter the warbler's song after last night’s hail nail art-- the guitarist's fingers flash autumnal colors one drop of dew on one blade of grass-- the world renewed |
pre dawn stillness
red brown leaves in the birdbath soundless evenings- a dwindling pool of frogs this summer the golden koi nudge blossom rafts further downstream pawn shop window-- a moth eaten Xmas tree the star still bright air-conditioned room-- listening to ocean sounds on You Tube Eid greetings-- the soaring silence of an eagle's song |
zen garden-
the clack of wooden clogs on wet flagstones bonfire sparks... fill the camp with shadows black against the night balloons ignored the toddler chases-- soap bubble rainbows a raven’s cry-- sparse rain glints gold in the afternoon play school umbrella day toddlers collect mud and laughter |
