1633⚛️
a buddhist meeting
so many younger people
just a few snow owls
1632r📕
I see my tax guy
time for his annual
belly laugh
1631
sorry we didn’t meet
I’ve so much to ask
my good friend Basho
🌻
1630🌾
I harvest the crop
cats yowl for salad
cup of kitty grass
1629🏺
petals in bloom
petals in dying
share one vase
1628🛌
a near sleepless night
trying not to snore
cats are complaining
1627📺
a power blackout
ceaseless buzzing ceased
dragonflies whisper
1626🌞
sun fills my pockets
won’t spend it all in one place
saving for next life
1625r🏍
vincent motorbike
rusting in her backyard
red molly now gray
(Click on the link for the song.)
1624🍎
a supermarket
tiny shopping carts for kids
teach your children well
1623💧
blue jay bending down
beak to beak with his twin
looking glass puddle
1622🍰
three helium balloons
left over from her birthday
wrinkled and nodding
1621💀
my student asking
when do zombies take over
sudden urge to bite
1620🍷
squirrels pick red berries
store and ferment all winter
birds pay any price
1619🔐
tombs to rent monthly
long rows of padlocks
skeletons hidden
1618🦌
rain brings grass
grass brings deer
deer brings poop
1617🍊
should offer to share
the very last tangerine
cold winds at the door
1616🍟
big macs and shakes in
Ho Chi Minh City—
we won after all
1615🥀
guys still running in
flower shop closing
valentines day night
