Miss Panda
Miss panda plays
early in the day,
greeting cool mornings
before the sun is hot,
running through grass,
finding a good spot
to roll and tumble
like a baby, even when
she’s two—finds the old log
where she stands on
her head, finds a good
tree limb for chinning
and hanging—no cares
for this wild youngster
weaned and growing,
showing us
how to have fun.

Such a beautiful day!

What fun!

Fabyan Japanese Gardens
To Be Changed
seek quiet
in a Japanese Garden
walk without sound
passing black pines
slender lavender blooms
on giant ribbed hostas
the dry stone creek bed
will rush with rain
pause at the pond
cross the moon bridge
dipping to the stone lantern’s
unmovable thick walls
arched openings for light
seeping through rice paper
at night
to change you
