Swaying in the breeze,

paper-thin lanterns rustle

and I sing for joy.

11/30 Fishing

When it rains it rains

and boy, did it rain today

but the fish don’t mind.

10/30 Lady Hosta

Easy on the eye

soft curves with pale rippled skin

and this year no snails!

9/30 Bindweed

A loving caress

in no time at all becomes

a smothering choke.

Fresh grown sun-drenched leaves

disguise needle sharp meat hooks

catching on my hands.

On the face of it,
