Spring Tour

Its house abandoned,
the garden has become home
to butterflies.       /Soji*

Blossoming boxwood maze—
a moth seems to be lost too. /zh.r.

Zen Garden—
a tiny worm falls among
rows of gravel.
/vs

A man-made pond—
dragonfly larvae hunt
mosquito wrigglers.

Ants herd honey aphids
Rock terrace aubrietia.


Informal layout
of white birches and rowans—
bees skim the daises.
