Summer
black crow
droops on tin roof --
summer heat
calm evening
hunting swallows
stitch the sky
cedar shingles
dry -- curled
wet - flat
edging the path
wild flowers -
don't stray!
falling stars
sketch lines on dark sky
so straight! so short!
feather falls
wild cat dances
-- rainy afternoon
fine rose sprinkling
here, there --
a grasshopper leaps aside
garden bamboo
leaf here, leaf there --
calligraphic dancing
heron flies home
struggling
with heavy load
in orchard shadows
chicken whispers -
summer noon
in the dandelions
a kitten chases
so much time
in the old man's pocket
two toffees
a ball of string
leaf dapple
sun prisms
dancing
new garden
how clean! how neat!
old poet rests
no wind playing
long grass rests --
silent prairie
noon sun on floating log
in its shadows
frogs dream an evening song
on the dark stream
one coloured flash --
kingfisher hunting
on the roof
woodpigeons
complain of rain
calm sea
wind squalls
tread stepping-stone paths
shadowed adobe
silent crickets --
summer ending
shadowy room
through the open window
last sunlight plays on hazel
so hot!
dozing puppies
twitch
summer storm
wind chimes
dance in lightning
swooping swallow
fly vanishes
before reflection
two dragonflies
shadow dancing
reflect August sun
