The sun in the morning
On a network of a spider-
Lace of light

raspberry canes
whipped by the stiff breeze
oriental poppies

calendar pages--
between the dates
time escapes

.

night butterfly
what colour are you
in the daylight

stratus clouds
the moonlight behind it
my time on my own
.

conifer muskiness
the drumming of rain
on a plastic roof

Quiet morning
The pair of swans floats
So it is graceful

Rainbow -
It is conversation
Rain and the sun

drenched hair
musing her impression
first rain

.

sudden shower
the group of cows startled more
by a flock of jackdaws

falling in love
all over again with my wife
the cries of swifts



.

along the shore
a different wave of reflection
moon-lit night

crow sails
on the rhino’s back
a new journey

courtesy car -
a blue pencil eye-liner
in the glove compartment

voiture de prêt -
un crayon à paupières bleu
dans le vide-poches

overnight rain
underscores the Greenery
Fuchsia pendulums open

Thence

thence a tulip sad
transformed into a cloud
and watered the thirsty

thunderstorm
enjoying nature's power
while counting off seconds

i plant an onion
and wish
may it sprout soon
a day after
my fathers demise

raspberry flowers
like tiny white stars
lavender greens

breezy hammock night
a rosy cloud blooms
petal by petal

so sudden this sky
a tease of bright ribbons
subdued into blue

is it the sky's
unceasing motion
that brings its peace?

midday
my shadow catches up with me
as I walk down the street

cumulus clouds
a clattering of jackdaws
rearrange them

sticky front door

a chyak-chyak of jackdaws

peck at rooftiles
