#476 – more Issa

A gate made all of twigs

with woven grass for hinges

for a lock …this snail

Hi! my little hut

Is newly thatched  I see

blue morning glories

#474 – echoes

echoes of winter

fierce, cold winds batter the house

spring not quite entrenched

causing delays to New York

regional spring drought

#466 – because I love Issa

As the great old trees
are marked for felling, the birds
build their new spring nests

A flowering plum
and a nightingale’s love song
he remains alone
