midsummer delight—
 
browsing the library stacks
 
to find a good read

River

 
 
 

New year, day sixteen—
 
I try to read the river,
 
but it won’t keep still.

Peas

 
 
 

first moon of the year—
 
reading from the almanac
 
about planting peas

Alphabet

 
 
 

on a wayside stone
 
secret little alphabet
 
only lizards read
