1.
handpan
lovely sounds
memories of the Islands
*
a hot afternoon
plenty of shade here
friendly strangers
see the birdhouse
nobody home
are your glass smashes?

Blue sky
green leaves
friends gather together in the park
walk on the path
singing the birds
wind pass my hair
bloom the flowers
busy the bee
I stand by and watching
mind everywhere
fall down on the ground
river run as its natural
3.
summer heat
my own shadow
by the empty birdhouse
*
summer heat
the scent of lavender
from her purple hat
*
summer heat
music from the golden hand-pan
cool reliefs
4.
red red roses
from facebook friends
longevity of emoji
*
white lilies
our anniversary
his silent apology
summer night sky
fireworks blooming our smiles
after COVID lock-down
*
on her dad’s shoulder
flying the maple leaf flag
a girl with ponytail
*
cheers to the singer
flashlights waving
fans on tip toes
5.
Wondering in the heat
On the Red trail
Mosquito bites
Resting on the log
Picking up some sticks
Water bottle falling
Wind blowing
Through Tree leaves
Blue Jay landing
6.
Blended
edges fade with ease
chase hearts that sail skyward bound
blended in blushes.
Enamoured
delicate deep whisks
blissful beats of preciousness
adorn life’s longing
Sundown
night’s descent begins
pink rippled sky points to home
street lamps light the way
Horizons
night disintegrates
sunset sets the sky on fire
while horizons wait
Solstice
silence in the air
earth tilts to touch the summer
the wind stands still
7
tiny yellow flowers sparkle
under the summer’s heat
daytime stars
lichen on a fallen twig
broken peanut shells
share a common ground
wide-eyed, a gray squirrel
up the oak tree in a blink
then stares me down
inside the urban forest
an old maple tree towers
over the soft earth
bird seeds only
words on the bird feeder
A black squirrel feeds on
two men with their handpans
haiku poets with their words
make music on Riverwood Lane
8
A Walk
Softly descending snowflakes
Tasteless on my tongue
Fresh dark tracks on trails I trek
Looking Up
Seeing beyond sight
Stargazing into dark skies
Feet firm on the ground
Summer
Summer heat
Beneath spreading branches
Cool relief
Babes
Splishing splashing
Nature’s bathtub
lake water babes
Fireworks
Crackling fireworks
Light amid dark
Embers not forgotten
Unheard
Here but do not hear
Lonely but never alone
Silent but much sound
