Icicle water
drips drips drips, upon
green spring shoots.
Black suits with white shirt,
winter faces, ladies weep,
a life on earth ends.
Summer love, now
inside within a week
new heart starts beating.
Acer leaf turns red,
memories of summer sun
fading like the days.
Crisp uniforms all,
new pencils and books and bags,
new term time begins.
In stillness ripples
echo the invading thought
...disturbing the mind
It's the cost to live.
fresh lime on seasoned fingers
cookbook aired at lastby Dalloway Palianta
final thrust
breath released
rolling eyes
leaving
the crows all cry out
he who flew high and swam low
leaves drift peacefully
When was the ending of our love?
Yesterday I saw you in a mirror
Keeping the flowers so close of your heart,
Today I see the flowers in a stranger's vase ...

Comes with the cycle of death.
Comes with the cycle of death.
It's the cost to live.

leaving
silently she left
what does she see and feel there

the crows all cry out

she cries with sharp pain
seppuku samurai gone honorable mention $L100
but yurei returns!

passing
a friend passed today
he who flew high and swam low
leaves drift peacefully

autumn
a chill breeze passes
a shower of yellow leaves
dances to the ground
