Carpe Diem Tan Renga Challenge #78, Shoha’s “out from the grass”
at the wagon’s approach,
out from the grass

on a humid night
we lie naked holding hands
in front of the fan
~~~~~~
peeling an orange
on a moon drenched night
naked I feed you
in the still of night
wearing only moonlight
I come to you
bare bottomed child
runs happily through garden
Mom in hot pursuit
(so as not to cause embarrassment, was not this child – but a neighbors child almost 30 years ago)
dressed to play ball
my little fashionista
in a league of her own
the little diva
playing to a different beat
making her own rules
Didn’t have a picture for this one – but this seemed to fit. Found it on line.

on a snowy day
resting on a park bench
your hand slips in mine

spring rain
washing away the snow
thunder rumbles

under the street light
old man with a whiskey cough
smokes another cigarette
hot foggy night
on tennis court playing chess
pieces half our size
I photographed this game the next morning. I actually only sacrificed two pawns and no other pieces were taken for this checkmate.
