Pumpkin

Loose Leaves – Senryu (or witty, tom-foolery)

 

 

If you can’t be good, then you best be bad … Happy Halloween, Daahlings!

 

She taps the sign

and I turn into

a pumpkin.

Falling in love –

her voice

on the demo.

Breaking our journey.

 

Sunlight shimmers 

into summer’s ease.

 

Pebbles still –

percolating the

brook’s babbles.

CHA CHA CHA?

 

Oh, those cherry pies!

She licks the crumbs

from her lips.

Weathering …

 

Several centuries

in succession.

 

Wind-bent tree –

watching over

ridge and furrow.

Loose Leaves – Garden Poems

 

 

Re-visiting a familiar spot from a different perspective …

 

Autumn sunset –

gilding the

ginkgo leaves.

 

 

Rising carp –

yet no sign

of the one

the size of

a shark.

Loose Leaves – Garden Poems

 

These poems were written ‘en plein air’ on a hot and humid day in August, earlier this year.

 

 

Lake light

shining off of

shimmering leaves.

 

 

 

 

All the cicadas –

trying to have

their say.

 

 

  

Little

fluffy clouds –

feeling fine.
