horizontal bar

     

prairie dawn mist slowly rises through the silence

     

rainy day—
staying dry
on the wrong bus

     

a motionless snail
on half a leaf—
outdoor seminar

     

our cat purrs
soft sounds—
distant thunder

     

fishing—
sunlight ripples play
on the bottom of a bridge

     

Tanka

     

breezy summer day—
a bearded man
trades an empty cup
for a half-full one
from a trash can

     

old English castle—
flying high - heraldic flags
of polyester
children playing cards
with Kings and Queens

     

a line of ants
ascending
a Roman column
on a Greek temple
in a Celtic village
