Green Tea and Bird Song: First Offering



a triparshva
free-form renku





new beginnings
pecking the egg
from the inside

mc

muted birdsong
frost on the window

ws

fresh green tea
having trouble
with the plastic wrap

jm

grand opening
master laughs in the garden

mc

late winter bouquet
fermented rice and
a drunken moon

mc

1000 flowers not enough
let's have a parade

jm

keeping in step
the musician's notes
lost to the wind

ws

a winter breeze
pure white seagull

jm

the crow's silhouette
awaiting my muse
winter's end

ws

awakened late by reggaeton
a moon halo

jm

dem bow gotta beat
but she loves it
on the one

ws

in so deep
i leave the mosquito alone

jm

butterfly
a slight draft breaks my
concentration

ws

each bell another season
passing goats

jm

wind chimes
absolutely still
heart beating faster

ws

no books nor compass
only the kindness of wings

jm

always drifting
no place of my own
follow the moon

ws

seeds in the breeze
sprouts in the compost

mc

message
in a bottle
sea turtle eggs

jm

in an instant
stepping into spring

ws

unbidden snow
one final fling
equinox

ws

honeymoon
a honeycomb of white light

spring walk
children stop along the way
to eat the flowers

a snowflake
unlike any other
we think alike
new beginnings
pecking the egg
from the inside
