An autumn afternoon,
resting on branches
birds and leaves
2
A pine needles lands
in a palette
of autumn snow
3
You just lost your leaves
Burning Bush in the front yard
holding all this snow!

You just lost your leaves
Burning Bush in the front yard
holding all this snow!
Last night’s raindrops lie
like spring blossoms
autumn’s flower bed
The autumn moon wanes
dancing by the Venus star,
not a cloud in the sky!
First frozen autumn dew
hurry, look! look!
before it melts away!
Afternoon autumn sun
Fragrance of Ponderosa Pine
Butterscotch or vanilla?
On the lakeshore
A seedling wavers
On a thread
Golden Aspen leaves
Taking flight
Dancing in autumn’s breeze

Morning’s blowing leaves
Find themselves now floating
In another dream
Autumn clouds
passing by
without a sound
Autumn afternoon
In the shade of a tree
Shining gold plums
Penetrating smoke and haze…
the sun shines
through another day
Picking tomatoes,
A praying Mantis and I…
Surprise each other!
An umbrella’s palette...
blending
in summer raindrops

Summer evening
Zazen in a guest’s backyard…
Crickets chirping
2
Before dawn
The empty patio table
welcomes a summer moon
3
Summer evening
Old poems, stories, and singing…
Bathed in sunset’s orange glow
Piercing the surface
from the depths and the sky
without a ripple
