Frog Pond

Wet August
Umbrella mushrooms;
Bumper harvest

~~~~~~~~~


Cultured frog pond
Fresh amphibious meat;
Gourmet lifestyle

~~~~~~~~~


Chinese seventh month
Hungry ghosts loiter;
Earth-bound vacation

~~~~~~~~~


Chinese customs 
Before life, this life,
Afterlife connections

~~~~~~~~~


House by the woods
Solitary presence:
No one comes

~~~~~~~~~


No seasonings
Premium instant noodles;
No time to eat

~~~~~~~~~


Ascendant moon
Brilliant night sky;
Nightingale's lullaby

~~~~~~~~~


Tree house
Island getaway;
New horizons hurl

~~~~~~~~~


Mid-autumn lanterns
Procession of kids;
Misty moon floats

~~~~~~~~~

Faraway glimpses
Brand new stadium dome;
Sporty revelations

~~~~~~~~~

Dear Jan: Thank you for your kind words. No, even I must try very hard to write these fragments. It's not easy. But it's gets easier if you try writing without thinking too much. Then, the words will flow when you think about that experience. And the experience writes itself into words. That's my secret, Jan. All my best wishes, Leon.
