Feeling guilty...

Feeling guilty,

she pulls up milk thistle 

by the root.

Pulling weeds at dusk...

Pulling weeds at dusk --
a tiny lizard escapes
the next handful.


Pulling weeds at dusk --
winds blow clouds --
white crescent moon.


Pulling weeds at dusk,
I smile at small lizards
who scurry away.

Another Senryu

Joy of pulling weeds:
At last, something
I can control!

Outside pulling weeds,
except sawthistles. To me,
they're pretty.

5/30/14

Outside pulling weeds, 
a lizard scrambles away
from my shadow. 

In front of the Landfill on Richmond Parkway

Weedy, wild flowers
push themselves up anywhere
along the hard dirt.

Poppies unfurl from

Poppies unfurl from
weedy, tall grasses: petals
of gold wave gently.
