A gray morning chill;
Lilacs glow in the dim air;
All the birds are hushed.

Across the slate sky
Two wild geese fly honking--
Flapping silhouettes.

She doesn't do much,
Mabel--silly Basset hound;
She knows how to bark.












On the old tree trunk
Flecks of red and white paper,
A long vanished sign.

Cluster of green leaves
Billowing open and lush
Burst out overnight.

Strange indigo stalks
Springing up on the road side4
Bear fluted flowers.













Raging waterfall
Tumbles down furiously--
Roadside rivulet.












Pale violet flower
Grows by itself near the road--
Single radiance.








Watching new born goat
As it drinks from its mother:
Two sets of kids here.
