Magnapoets Japanese Form

antique shop

the passing shower

still passing

first snow
a passing child
sticks out her tongue

                                                  winter temple-
                                                  the white arms of a young monk
                                                  wiping the floor

new year's eve-
in the echo of fog horns
another voyage starts

how silently

they fell

change . . .

late autumn trees

half full half empty
