Mid-autumn picnic—
 
an army of ants moves in
 
to raid the table.

 
 
 

in a tub of ice
 
three watermelons cooling—
 
Labor Day picnic

 
 
 

Late summer picnic—
 
a fly on the melon slice
 
makes me hesitate.

Picnic

 
 
 

first picnic of spring—
 
red hen gobbling up earthworms
 
after last night’s rain
