vase




The two young daughters.
Flowers in the vase of
The grateful father.





30 July 2010

butter





Refrigerator.
Hanging onto butter
All night, chilly bug.







27 July 2010

owl




Who will tell loved ones
Of white owl,  hit by a car
Under full moon?





26 July 2010

circles





Walking in circles,
Over the electric bill,
The ant finds nothing.







25 July 2010

void




Lost in a void, or
Just dangling for sheer fun,
Like me, a spider.





24 July 2010

heat



In the morning heat,
Stopping for big kiss,
Two ants cross the terrace.





23 July 2010

storm







The butterflies gone,
Scared of summer storm.
Now, just lonely flowers!









22 July 2010

trumpets





Over the green lawn,
Walking carefully around
Pair of white trumpets.

21 July 2010

gone






Gone like a rose petal,
Into the black windy night,
An old friendship dies.







20 July 2010

half-moon



Sea of cricket's drone,
In it I drown each night
Under sail of half moon.







19 July 2010

thirsty







A salamander
Came to drink but left thirsty.
The smell of my feet!





18 July 2010

wedding





Rose petals, and rice.
The church steps descending down
To an empty square.







17 July 2010

haunting







Sometimes, feel homesick.
Which perfume, or rainy day
Still haunting small heart?





16 July 2010

crow






The constant carping!
All morning long, is it you
dear crow, or my mind?







14 July 2010

dilly-dally





My mind this morning:
Dilly-dally, poofy-do,
July butterfly.





13 July 2010

stone





Stone funerary.
Crawling into his own death,
A daddy-long legs.







12 July 2010

fuss







Landing on my arm,
Bumble bee just wants a kiss,
What's the fuss?







11 July 2010

waltz



A great distraction,
The bedside lamp driving moths
To waltz on my chest.







10 July 2010

robes







A pile of dead roses.
Who can imagine, that once,
You wore white robes?









09 July 2010

smoothly





Parked on the wall,
Helping my dreams fly smoothly,
Brightly colored moths.







08 July 2010

chore





Alone, the robin
Hops from one solitary
Chore to another.









07 July 2010

death



The smallest death,
Found in these yellowed pages.
A flat red beetle.







06 July 2010

shutters




A north wind,
Re-arranging the shutters
All night long.







05 July 2010

drum





Over the green lawn.
Were it not for a blue drum,
A lone yellow hose.







04 July 2010

tee-shirt







Checkered butterfly,
Making love to white tee shirt,
The Palpitations!







03 July 2010

kisses







Dainty butterfly,
Planting tiny kisses,
The erect lavender!







02 July 2010

circus




Butterfly circus,
Were it possible for me 
To be free myself!









01 July 2010

switch





The buzzing cigales!
Whose lucky hand flicks the switch?
First day of summer!
