Tiring the heart--
mountains and ocean
too much beauty

---Santōka

on the lawn
investigator boy meets a fellow
investigator worm

birdsong
tumbling from the tree
cherry blossom
raspberry canes
whip the air in the wind
honestly and forget-me-nots
Humming a bumble-bee
Every morning is like on
Sound of violoncello

Warm spring -
Song between two starlings
Likely about love

Welcoming spring
The boy runs across a pool
Mother is not pleased_

Spring wind
Chase from place to place
Last year's leaves

nighttime cool
primrose bloom
collecting petals
my pillow breaths sweet

the wind- trapped
in a battle with the big maple,
the rain- still missing

spring rain falling
through derelict windows
nourishing blooms of rust
clouds scud across
white against the grey
cherry petals fall
Together with wind
The first drops of a rain
Symphony of spring
_____________________________________________
Evening in garden
Virgin melody of a violin
Violates silence
_____________________________________________
Green grass in April
Birds begin to sing in trees
Children playing
_____________________________________________
eyelids closed
in the evening sun -
a wings beating

***

paupières closes
au soleil du soir -
un battement d'ailes
war memorial
in the park they mow down
dandelions
blue skies return
dandelions scattered
like tiny suns
morning sun
alder catkins shiver
in the breeze.

Sunny day
Catkins on branches of birches
Various colour

Beginning May
In a rays of warm days
Snow disappears
_____________________________________________

this slant of light
awakens the grass
I feel new green



the ripe moon hangs low
pulling down the sky
