so cold
my shadow
stuck in ice 52 or
stuck in ice
my shadow
so cold 52A
cold wind
frozen footsteps
to the woodpile 130 or
cold wind
woodpile footsteps
frozen 130A
waves crash
the lights of houses
whiter in the wind 132 or
whiter wind
lights of houses
in the waves 132A
watching
swallows play
I eat a peach 209
peach eating
watching swallow
play 209A
drinking tea
until it is cold
waiting for autumn 223
autumn sunshine
the first red leaf
life's achievement 231
blossoms path
the silent ceremony
pouring tea 325 or
blossom path
no ceremony
pouring tea 325A
paper boats
chasing them
to the lake 326
behind the clouds
the setting sun
revealed 329
tea house
summer lanterns
glow and sway 361
Ah! peony
bowing your head
blushing so 366
coming home
yarrow flowers
in snowdrifts 369
trill trill
moonlight cricket
busks a little 370
summer day
soft breeze
draws a sigh 375
quiet day
the raindrops fall
plunk plunk 380
all too soon
the tea pot
cold 390 Sharpening the Green Pencil 2014 Online Book
tonight's
half blood moon
I cut an orange 496
drinking tea
master, student
talk of this and that 501
dancers
the ceiling fan
pirouettes 508
From the Blue Book
war memorial
measuring life
in inches 223
empty garden
childhood echo's
evaporate 224
drifts of rain
the gulls
grayer 225
first frost
a scarf of sparrows
wraps the tree 227
pale days
winter horizon
leaks colour 228
