dandelion
all its golden petals
facing the sun
hundreds of music fans
flock the castle grounds
unnoticed pigeons
pecking among the feet
keep their peace
lunch on a plastic table
Dad sorts out the kids |

such a warm night
sleeping on the verandah
the whispering moon
pillow talk remembered
as leaves turn pale
he accepts the haiku
no words explain
why she accepts the kiss
a quiet farewell
off to California
closing the door
on yet another home
none of them lasting
the Earthís shut for repairs
please make other arrangements |

into the forest
we seek a warmer spot
in patchy sunlight
snow falls from a branch
as the hunter takes aim
the girl of his choice
winsome in a furry coat
averts her gaze
yachtsman of the year
females flock on deck
into the river
where heís trying to forget
a single leaf falls
stolidly considering
a new hole in the road |

Council offices ñ
the girl at the entrance desk
fields more complaints
the mill-race is yellow
with chemical froth
in the roomís silence
aroma of antique wood
mimosa blossom
their delightful daughter
chats with college friends |
