Have Courage

With a leap of faith
He found contentment
Waiting for him in plain sight.

Evensong

Petrichor perfume
Fills the evening air.
Birdsong floats away our cares.

Rain.

Nice weather for ducks;
It's coming down in stair-rods;
Raining cats and dogs.

An English Affair ( Tanka)

An English affair:
Tea in a marquee.
You simply have to be there!
(Never mind the persistent rain
Let's have a walk down the lane.)

Wisteria

Wisteria weeps
From the eyes of history
Surveying the land.

Cricket

Genteel Summer game:

Willow thwack on wood

Polite applause dressed in white.

Ducks

Honeymooning ducks
Hide among the reeds
Grabbing a stolen moment.
