lots of plans today

but the shock of the cold floor

sends me back to bed

-o0o-

a rusty combine

harvester - all that remains 

of the old farmstead

-o0o-

anticipating

mealtime, the dog chronicles

her every move

-o0o-

end of the cold spell

the smiles of the office girls

lunch break in the park

-o0o-

excited squawking

from the budgie - a big cat

on the window sill

-o0o-

an endless goods train

at the level crossing brings

 the day to a halt

-o0o-

by the river bank

the still water holds the moon

till the image fades

-o0o-

a darkening sky

in the stable the horses

sense the coming storm

-o0o-

how touching / to exist after the storm /  chrysanthemum
MATSUO BASHO

-o0o-
