Our intent was to catch bullfrogs but anything was game

An angel of silence holds back her tears.
Cypress knees jerk
And the egret slides silently through the mist
The swamp is a sacred place.
Inches of water hold a danger...

Engulfed in memories of gone-bye days
Placing my deserted nest in front of me
World moves on but a monument stays
I selected the safest branch of the cypress

there wisdom is served
like as one planted,
seeded at a last feast,

Leaving For a Distant Place
Author: Runping Chen
In his mother’s eyes,
The child is dragging her coat brim;
On father’s broad shoulders,
I am still weak and young.
Today, the swallows are trying a fly
While I am also about to leave home.
At the entrance...

Come flashing down at me

Transfixed upon his pirouetting bob,
To angle fish his self-appointed job,
He speaks with silence. It is his every word.
Mirror to him, voiceless and unstirred,
The heron stiffens,...

Lake Lover

she smiles at her likeness and ripples softly quiver.

where subaqueous creatures live, busy in their nests.
Moss shawls arm drape low on sitting cypress tree,
ungainly,...
