admiring the view

one thing holds my attention

the cherry blossom

-o0o-

low tide - a long chain

of seaweed snaking its way

along the foreshore

-o0o-

at the level crossing

the steeple's long shadow  

lies on the lines

-o0o-

purple, yellow, white

a cluster of crocuses

brighten the grass verge

-o0o-

a Paddington bear

sat in that window for years

now - a vase of tulips

-o0o-

in shallow water

the tiny flounder hidden

in the sandy bed

-o0o-

after the cloudburst

hundreds of small wriggling worms

litter the pavements

-o0o-

the sun's last rays still

bright on the coloured awning

of the pier café

-o0o-

for a lovely bowl/let us arrange these flowers/since there is no rice

MATSUO BASHO
