December 10

A red rose
regal and stately
thorns protect her

Melting snow
carrying away
a harsh winter
reveals a crocus

Smell of smoke
an ax dividing a stump
snow falling

February 20

sitting on the dock
spring breeze at their back
old men reminiscing

a goose landing onto
the pond as silent
as a cloud passing over

spring thaw
children's laughter as the
melting snow runs away

April breeze
sleeping grass begins
to stretch

autumn's
oak leaf
matted and black
swept away by spring

a rain barrel
filled with April rain
collecting the stars

on a hard city street
softly walking
a young woman

November 29

There were no flowers
on that cold November day
no birds singing songs

Two songbirds nesting
singing a song for the night time
the sun is sinking

A falling maple leaf....The poet finds beauty in the...November season

Weiiji roughly translates from Japanese to English as "in challenge there's opportunity."

Songbirds

The songbird quiets The clouds and thunder roll in What does it all mean?
