Rengay Through the Seasons by Masago & Friends

 

 

 


 

A Frog's View

Rengay #36, Late-Spring
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

Into the pond—
the voices of several poets
grow fainter.

Setting sun—each croak
expressed with love.

Tree limb—
morning rays, warm
on the back.

Chicken in pursuit—
I barely escape under
the wire fence.

Stone outcrop— a fly
comes tantalizingly near.

I hop to centre
lane—an approaching car
grows louder.

Third Degree

Rengay #37, Late-Spring
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

First mowing—
I find a dog's gift
in the lawn.

2nd birthday — she gets
a furry white kitten.

He misses again
another anniversary...
third degree.

The Prof's lecture
on the fourth dimension...
she forgets the time.

On his graduation—
a CD of Beethoven's 5th.

Gifted composer—
each note found as if
by a sixth sense.

Embers

Rengay #38, Late-Spring
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

Moon light—
the cherry blossoms glow
bright pink.

The night light still on—
yet the kids are grown up.

A a lava lamp
from the flea market—
comes on, goes off.

A lit butt
tossed out a car window—
rolling, flickering.

A molten glass blob—
shaped with each puff.

Sip of rose
by a fireplace of embers
just you and me.

Walking in the Shadows

Rengay #39, Late-Spring
J. Andrew Lockhart and Vaughn Seward

First time this year—
pajamas not needed
tonight.

Late night insomnia—
grilled-cheese sandwiches.

Watching a re-run
from the late sixties—
sound of an owl.

Full moon—
a train whistle echoes
in the valley.

Trees stretch to the stars—
I walk in the shadows.

Waking up from
a deep, deep sleep—
where am I?
