The beauty of seagulls...

The beauty of seagulls—
often obscured by trash and french fries in parking lots—
But here! 
Dots on blue green waves, 
heads tucked into white feathers, 
sleeping circles on brown sand.

In a big flock,
even pigeons
look beautiful.

Taking out the trash... (Tanka)

Taking out the trash--

my neighborhood appears! 

Trees, hills, plants, fresh air!

It's beautiful out here;

I forget so easily.

Why keep living?

Why keep living?
Well... There're those blue flowers
on the rosemary, for a start.

Two variations on a theme...

Black Winter's night,
twinkling stars.
Beautiful cold.

-----------------

This Winter night--
even the stars look cold!

Rewrite! (8/6/2024)

Huddling in my blankets--

tonight even the stars 

look cold!.

In all this beauty,
one plant pocked and frayed alone.
I don't want to see.
