WE AND OUR SHADOWS

Lavender shadows
just as real as real thing
that bee visits both.
Our two shadows too...falling
in love on the grass...as one.

LET’S DO IT!

Pigeons Bill & Sue
Bill & coo to each other
just as we two do.
Plants...birds...humans all in one
accord...whistling Cole Porter.

UNSTILL LIFE

I am the perfect
artist’s model...keep so still
as if at will – a statue.
But...oh no...part of me...grows
in reply to your sly smile.

POSY

Watch you gather these
moments...flowers in your hand
like a little girl
presenting me a pretty
posy of haiku...tanka.
