from yesterday's rain
the mountains' sport of lush greens -
far away dreams enfold
✿ܓ
a riot of colour
departs eventually -
falling leaves
✿ܓ
the rain has ceased -
dart of a kingfisher
in lieu of rainbows
✿ܓ
anxious upturned faces -
a spot of day darkness
awaiting
✿ܓ
as fishers as friends
out to sea in a boat -
cormorant fishing
✿ܓ
circle of brighness
in the coolness of night -
beautiful moon
✿ܓ
white butterfly -
on the other side of the street
distance spins its tale

in lieu of rainbows'.
