This pile of
fallen leaves
separates my hermitage
further and further
from the world of woe

somehow getting by
Today, today too,
somehow getting by these days, still
living in a haze.

for you who rarely visit…
for you who
rarely visit,
though you have already arrived,
may the early evening storm
not blow so hard!

let’s go…view blossoms
Children,
let’s go to the mountain
to view violets.
If they scatter away tomorrow,
what can we do?

blossom viewing
home from blossom viewing-
as I disrobe, many straps
cling to my body

weekly photo challenge: from every angle
tires of…summer
for the man who says
he tires of his child
there are no flowers

walking out alone
black & white sunday: summertime
On the shins of thin legs
breezes touching the hairs —
time of summer clothes.

yearn to live…
summer’s fading
My own shadow
trodden on in the shallows-
cooling off

monochrome madness
Pianos About Town is a community collaborative effort that brings art and spontaneous music to a community. Donated pianos are transformed into whimsical painted pieces of art which are then placed in various outdoor locations about town…this form of interactive public art invites the creation of music as well as opportunities for photographers.
