sun flowers wilt
in the lingering heat
no rain this week /jd
turning from my porch lookout,
a pawlonia leaf lands /ym
all morning
a cricket's courting song--
phone me at noon /jd
first autumn storm
my cat has forgotten rain,
but soon remembers /ym
silently, cloaking all
with grayness, the fog invades /jd
Japanese ivy
clings to the broken fence,
the setting sun /ym
late autumn
that small sound
through the autumn night,
a worm cries /ym
listen in the
autumn dusk
dead leaves blow through the garden
/jd
an owl
sitting in an apple tree
calling to his love /ym
pheasants in tall grass
suddenly swoop toward the woods--
a gun shot /jd
and the hunting dog howls
tracking the fallen bird /ym
in the night
lightning criss-crosses the sky
a scarecrow /jd
