| summer's song |
| snacks discarded from overstuffed sandchairs a gull's feast *moments. June, 2002 |
| crab buries itself rough surf uncovers him again and again *Oceana, Summer, 2002 |
| offshore breeze the sun tucks into the horizon |
| sandpiper tiny wave hopper plays alone |
| connected eye to eye in the midway crowd you wink my heart is safe |
| tumbling double sunrise shell survives the storm * moments, June, 2002 |
| chain link fence trapping summer's goddesses roses bloom rampant |
| sleeping fog lazy and slow until summer sun woke me |
|
| between 18 holes dew dropped hills grow morning mist |
| wilting unnoticed dwarfed by rose blossoms a single blade |
| my back in the sand clouds chase each other out to sea |
| sky blackens seaward pulling the wind with it ~a door slams |
| reflected in the sea Draco* stands on his head entertaining the guests *moments, June,2002 *during summer in the northern hemisphere the Dragon constellation appears upside down |
| Sunday evening battered beach chair litters the expressway |
| Home I spring ku I summer song I leaving I winter sail I notes I journal I haiga I keimyaku I connections |
 |
|
|
| roses whiter in the rain light the garden walk |
| summer sun he pulls splinters from his toe |
| gulls greet the neighbor's roof way too early *moments, June, 2002 |
| ignoring the fork in the road summer breeze *Visual Hakiu, October, 2002 |
| my first tanka September second a lone surfer in the swells singing Springsteen "no retreat, baby, no surrender" |
| summer romance Mars slides a bit closer to Earth |
| lightening strikes my neighbors across the bay in total darkness making love no mood music no tv |
| sunrise~ still in today's roses yesterday's rain |
| another summer storm the rut in the driveway grows deeper |
| kite flying~ the beat of her heart in his head |
| all through the summer night's breeze windchimes |
| summer the purple martins return to the birdhouse dusk the purple martins sing |
