the old cat rubs
her nose in the French lavender –
morning dew

misty morning –
the young heron's feet
spring green

careful steps
rocking the boat
rocking the top of the ocean

almost dusk
an open door
to the lighthouse

the lagoon egret –
sound of clothes
washed on stones

towering pines
a bobcat prowls
in the early mist

clearing sky –
a young gull
tests the wind

the last telephone pole
a herring gull perched
on one leg

day in the park –
finding a cherry blossom
in the baby's diaper

scarlet sunset –
a fighting cock's feathers
ruffle in the breeze
