An autumn afternoon,
resting on branches
birds and leaves

A pine needles lands
in a palette
of autumn snow

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

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
