senryu cluster

 discarded umbrella

checking in a handsome 

army man 

.

closed storm doors...

stack of books 

on window sill 

.

bought a new calendar 

red pompon dahlias on the cover

.

warm moonlight —

i walk around just to walk 

.

such beauty 

in mundane things...

sleek car passing by

.

budding potatoes 

laughing at a rather stale joke 

.

my own hands cold

anxious thoughts 

turn toward something

.

daylilies 

its ok to be petty

sometimes

.

peeled potatoes 

often a victim 

of my own pride

.
