poem

if someone

just shows

a sarcastic smirk

then it's better

to look at

the clouds

next time

those beautiful

encouraging

white clouds

poem

a blue sky 

over the former

smelting works

an alcohol-free beer

with lemon

a strange taste

in times of

strange weather

no rain for weeks

in spring

haiku     senryu

drought in springtime

and sunbeams for 

so called nice weather

poem

a bird of prey

left our garden

with a mouse

pink petals 

on soil and stones

the bird sat

on a tree

before its flight

I was told all this

but I saw the petals 

myself
