So Monet
The dark clouds of summer,
the hot, humid air,
and shade blanket the old apple tree.
Forest green, ripe with fruit,
it glows with red ornaments. And beside it,
at the mouth of a white sunflower,
a hummingbird hovers, and there's a garden of
water lilies inside a half whiskey barrel.
They are the Arc en Ciel, pale pink,
the scent almost sinful, so tropical, so Monet.
The season gives us fruit and the taste is sweet.

2 River View
Japanese Butterfly (Tanka)
Lovers sweet-pink dream,
Japanese butterfly down;
yesterday's hope gone ,
eclipsed wings found by the sea;
Fisherman with a moth net.
