Onward

Leaving a trail
of joyous songs behind —
the bride's veil /gc

last night's left overs, day moon. /gc

a pair of seagulls follow
above the wake. /vs

Renhai Reflections 142: Settling Down


Settling Down

A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Janice Seward (js)

Quiet playground —
an autumn breeze upon
the set of swings. /js

Between bicycle spokes, /vs
a scarlet maple leaf. /js

Caught in traffic —
switching stations to look
for better news. /vs

Dressed and ready,
out the door: everything
seems new. /zh.r

A book snuggled in her arms — /vs
the school bus pulls away. /zh.r

The passed note,
tucked deep between
the last pages. /vs
