and out of puddles…
songbirds

city madness
beyond it all…
rain drops

ac drone
middle of it all…
a sense of quiet

rain spreads
citylight sparkle…
no more darkness

spot light
beyond her fado…
gentle guitar

friday sun
happy just picking…
dog poop

evening argument
with darkness…
things settle

night time
in our company…
cat purrs

cat stare
once again…
evening settles

shades of pink
this day hardly…
but gray

poppies sprinkle
along the same road…
times change

hibiscus bloom
we stare at its curves…
under the rain

cat prowl
evening defined…
by fresh rain

clouds welcome
perhaps rains as well…
first zucchini blossom

paws strut
his gentle reminder…
its another day

evening sun
our chat spills over…
same old things

old man
cracking his snack…
small joy

central valley drive
our argument over…
country’s food basket

drum beats
our minds churn…
something else

poppy blossom
filling us in…
renewed hope

another friday
makes me another…
april fool

end of quarter
i ponder on…
all things considered

distant rumbles
yet a feeling…
of something closer

distant train
in synchronicity…
waking songbirds

evening chill
even the songbirds…
silent

years later
pale blue delight…
lilac blossoms

afternoon walk
our minds open…
jasmine fragrance

afternoon sun
breaking even more…
new warmth

afternoon walk
filling my face…
purple blossoms

distant dog
her silence reveals…
new pain

full moon
her blue eyes reveals…
something new

slow pace
crossing my path…
odd snail

evening walk
drawn in…
to ginkgo buds

synagogue
drawing me in…
cantor chants

drum beat
echoing in my ears…
earth’s lamentations

sleep and snore
drawing me in…
good times

yellow blooms
moving with time…
dog sniff

meditation time
my mind fills…
cat purrs.

minutes later
i make time…
for cat snores

rainy afternoon
i find comfort in…
my friend’s muzzle

marble floor
her toes reveal…
blood stains

raindrops
in their song…
somethings change

democracy now
breaking the drone…
cat purr

soft crunch
my mouth filled…
almond fruits

season’s first
almond fruits…
all things good

evening walk
along same lanes…
things do change

black birds
new hide and seek…
my fat kitty

tranquil waters
eyeing our snacks…
pair of ravens

between snores
i find again…
deeper silence

brown clouds
evening ahead…
surreal

burger joint
among all things…
ketchup is best

distant train
filling me up…
distant memories

carmel ice cream
moment lost to…
cat fight

gentle stroke
in my ear…
cat purrs

stripping cat
of its winter coat…
fuller moon

full moon
mindful of it…
dog howl

evening chill
even the dog leash…
now cold

evening settles
comfort in…
cat’s purr

rest easy
evening brings…
vegan burgers

night sky
opening it up…
magnolia blossoms

lama chants
in spite of it…
temper tantrum

half moon
my mind wonders…
the dark side

backyard spring
last year’s sow…
now poppy plants

by fridge
wait for carrots…
dog burp

evening scattered
across neighbor’s lawn…
cherry blossoms

whispering air
room fills in…
lavender air

shades of blue
i spy in there…
sliver moon

face drenched
this drive brings…
morning sun

turkish coffee
my face seeks warmth…
of the sun

night black
tracing lights…
on the road

unsettled
we settle into…
evening silence

almond blossoms
in my face…
spring is here

after the rains
this morning brings…
feb chills

burn
edges of my nose…
thai chillies

caucus night
we seek quiet of…
sound machine

sunday sun
quietness no more…
she chatters

neighborhood walk
drains gurgle…
overnite rain

friday rain
my ears follow…
ice cream truck

siesta
rude awake…
school is out

japanese incense
my mind infused…
new thoughts

afternoon sun
the walk reveals…
nodes on bare branches

moonlight
the shadows deeper…
in her eyes

cat purr
another stare…
evening settles

afternoon walk
my winter jacket…
darker in rain

moonlight
in hide and seek…
silence

shiver
grass blades do…
morning mist

afternoon goes
among all things…
cat just pooped

after rains
a smile again…
back in left coast

winter evening
around the city…
#NYvalues

pine trees
side on roadside…
xmas must be over

small talk
and in between…
good stout

snow flakes
the wing drenched…
east coast is here

winter rain
washing me over…
new memories

orange clouds
with their fade…
everything must change

morning walk
the corner reveals…
lavender blossoms

gentle move
i settle in…
dog snore

in sync
sandpipers forage…
we walk on

seek again
i find within…
quiet space

breathin’ in
to my evening arms…
dog snout

twilight zone
we sink into…
digital lives

lost voice
appreciating in this rain…
deeper silence

el nino rain
even the dog’s got…
the blues

morning delight
i follow contours of…
fingerling potatoes

strange bother
at friend’s dinner…
dog snore

gentle sing
in my ears…
dog snore

twilight hour
spreading across face…
sun and smile

new year’s eve
same birds in…
different light

rain river
even the dog…
feels them blues

gray skies
my mind insists…
brighter things

traffic lights
stuck in windshield…
ginkgo leaf

twilight walk
ginkgo leaves crunch…
yellow to pale

hard drive drone
this Sunday morning…
things at ease

twilight hour
around the bay…
a hushed silence

brown boxes
cats slip in to…
their new abodes

rains
gentle noise for…
morning meditation

evening sun
grass tones into…
darker yellow

this tuesday
brings old back…
all things considered

twilight hour
cats quieter…
distant train

cars blanketed
in november ritual…
yellow ginkgo leaves

silence persists
my mind relishes…
all things unknown

evening sun
we all reflect…
passage of time

indian meal
so goes another…
thanksgiving

sun stretches
across western horizon…
so does ms. amelie

snow storm
in my own mind…
distant memories

evening walk
dog poop
also cold

neighborhood yellow
our path smattered…
ginkgo leaves

yellow splash
in evening darkness…
ginkgo leaves

fall days
the ‘hood full…
of citrus yellows

wilted rose
in the afternoon…
waiting for rains

ginkgo leaves
chasing them yellows
our shadows

morning hush
among all things…
her gentle snore

seething in
a change of pace…
another day

november morning
even our dog…
seeks the rain

magic
drawing us in…
flamenco jazz

persimmons neighbor’s
just out of reach…
5 for a dollar
