First Flush

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #75 rice gourd (lost episode March)

 

first flush
dewdrops quiver
mourning dove coos

 

Moonlight

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #71 moonlight

 

on a stormy night
the worm moon casting shadows
on sodden soil

moonlight dances
among the spring trees
tickling new leaves

Beyond Movement

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #64 Beyond “movement”

 

moonlight kisses
the cresting waves
calling me

~~~

in the early dawn
the crackle of frosted leaves
breaking the stillness

Thin Thread of Moon

Van Gogh’s Couple Walking among Olive Trees in a Mountainous Landscape with Crescent Moon

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

thin thread of moon
captured in the maple
tree frogs call

~~~

thin thread of moon
shines through my window
beaconing to me

captured in the maple
moonlight dances with leaves
shadows waltz below

tree frogs call
filling the night air
with courting music

Colorful leaves

Carpe Diem Tokubetsudesu #60 Variety “colorful leaves”
Our leaves are browning fast, not a lot of color in them.

in autumn light
a white bag waltzes slowly
with dry leaves

~~~

autumn walk
in tall grass grasshoppers
fly momentarily

~~~

autumn leaves
color melting
into a puddle
