hidden among weeds
small snakeskin in the garden
summer’s first growth spurt

softly fragrant rose
paragon of spring beauty
the wind whispers praise

stretched to meet the rain
parched summer branches extend
grateful for the drops

noontime summer sun
unforgiving as it burns
fat uneaten worms

Muggy summer night
Tardy fireworks bursting
Sadly no rain falls

hot summer morning
prayed to clouds for your health
driving to doctor

staring delighted
even at walking horses
in new morning snow
Basho
midnight wanderer
walking through the snowy street
echoing dog-bark
Shiki
In that cold darkness
my horse stumbled suddenly
just outside the house

escaping the heat
the hottest day in decades
cool retreat upstairs

early spring sun sets
along the uneven boardwalk
evening ocean beckons

oppressively hot
heat will curtail outdoor time
Northern July day
