Autumn contentment—
 
we share tea and oranges,
 
garnished with small talk.

 
 
 

tea water boiling
 
birdsong outside my window—
 
autumn contentment

Waterfront

 
 
 

on the waterfront
 
with coffee and a guidebook—
 
grey-day contentment

Contentment

 
 
 

slabs of chocolate cake
 
a swig or two of brandy
 
deep spring contentment
