New Years

New Year’s gong
resonates through the trees
I count each stroke

(108 strokes -one to expel each weakness)

Spring

bird songs
shorten the night
your arms hold me

Summer

we dance
in soft moonlight
barefoot in wet grass

Autumn

early autumn
you drew our silhouettes
on the hot pavement

Winter

newspaper wrapped
around each rosebush
anticipating snow

Frog

childhood joy
a frog wriggles
to get away

first toad
my daughter
builds a house

Skylark

spring sounds
a sightless song
skylark

~~~

slowly descending –
skylarks song suspended
somewhere overhead

Picture Credit

voice of spring
the skylarks melodic song
mingles with the breeze

Spring’s Passage

Carpe Diem #966 passing of spring

end of spring
roses herald
her passage

spring’s passage
every iris bloom perfumes
her wake

rainy day
roses lament
spring’s passing

 

 

 

Kite

Carpe Diem #964 kites

after twenty years
my son’s airplane kite still hangs
waiting for the wind

Magnolia

first pink flush
touches the magnolia
awakening spring

Fog

foggy mountain
the cuckoo’s cry
haunting me

morning fog
dewdrops cling
to a spiderweb

under the vines
in the dying apple tree
three baby robins

a nest full of robins
