Three dwarfs

[ Tanka ]

bumble bees
on a whirlwind tour
churchyard path
dusted with pollen
light and shadows drift

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i loiter
till the fog gifts me
red lilies
a butterfly’s nest
beside a milestone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i search for
rose petals
within a book
timeworn pages show
dinosaur footprints

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
