On the hydrangeas

the weight of the morning sun

the evening sun


---Otsuyu


everything
wrapped in sunlight  -
nothing unforgiven
chamomile blooms
spread a gentle aroma
summer pinks

..my favorite

my favorite
tree just greeted me back
--again!

a glint of red
on the raspberry canes
front garden bounty


bright flowers drip honey
sun heat cools in the shade
time passes slowly



hissing rain
the cat beneath the raspberry canes
waiting for breakfast
pre-dawn
filters through the curtains
a fox, barking
cuckoo spit
on the lavender spikes
rain-battered poppies
pools of damp
on the night path
slug festivities
late cornflowers
from a packet of mixed seed
catnip
dawn chorus
a single crow
in the cherry tree
bonfire ashes
blown by chill winds
lupin spikes
steady rain
the pond becomes a tempest
drowned snail
sea pinks
bobbing in the breeze
a memory of salt
olympics  -
already on the flagpole:
snail
water iris
a counterpoint to fishes
pond fountain
bonfire smoke
from the allotments
wheelbarrow neighbour
rooftop crow
breaks the silence
cornflower bees

cloudy summer--
the old woman walks down
with drifting shadow

*****
summer afternoon--
spending time with the tree
after distant walk

sudden hail storm
batters the windows
midsummer daisies
wood pigeons
on chimney tops
drooling cat
