Small blue butterflies 🦋
Short time to meet each other ~
Full lives in moments.

Wind and rain all night –
Magnolia petals fall ~
Carpeting my path.
Hotel room number –
Remembered, then forgotten ~
Until the next home.
Pittosporum scent –
Attracting the bumble bee ~
Robin prefers crumbs.
Beautiful beach scene –
Marred after close inspection ~
Sand filled with plastics.
Goodbyes to old car –
Thanking it for its service ~
The spirit in things.
Whiskers
After many years –
Mostly black untrusting cat ~
At last purrs for me.
Populations
Busy bumblebees –
Winter mahonia blooms ~
Eight billion lives.
Kind mentor passes –
As wise as the oldest hills ~
Still learning from him.
[For C. Barry Long, RIP]
An Algarve retreat –
Silence broken by dogs, saws ~
Then, by lovely owls.
