the man’s whiteness
walking in the house’s shadow…
summer moon ~Issa*





sharing tree shade
with a butterfly…
friends in a previous life ~Issa*

This week Patti’s (P.A. Moed) Lens-Artists photo challenge is to pick a color and select several photos that feature that color and then beginning with a “large” color subject go down to an image that contains a small subject color — going from large to small.

now the rains have gone,
two neighboring houses
enjoy spring cleaning ~ Issa*

In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home?

The sweet smell of the south wind can calm the tempers of my people.
The sweet rain of the south wind can nourish the grain-fields of my people.
