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-
