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

nature
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

fading summer
weekly photo challenge: from every angle
tires of…summer

he tires of his child
there are no flowers

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

summer’s silent gift
My home is quiet.
The cuckoo’s song is silenced
in my quiet home

a voiceless flower…speaks
A voiceless flower
speaks to the obedient
in-listening ear

aspen grove
hot night in the trees-
I’m getting used to it
