Rainy morn ~

February ends

e’en earlier.

Sunny day ~

wearing spring mask

midwinter.

Postyearend ~

in the waking rain

snow lefto’ers.

Fiery leaves ~

summer October.

Hiding

’mong the changing leaves ~

anarchist stump.

Autumn maples ~

available

for a limited time.

Summer’s end ~

the smell o’ dead grass;

the mower growls.
