A stroll hand in hand

a stroll hand in hand
in cold desolate autumn
your soulmate and you

a glimpse of summer

beyond autumn’s crimson veil
nature’s tapestry

Yesterday's sunshine

Kyoto, Nov 2009 by Lee Swee Wei

yesterday’s sunshine
fluttering in the cold wind -
golden leaves of fall

A quiet puddle

Photo taken at the Taiping Lake Gardens


a quiet puddle
yearns for yesterday’s rainbow
gentle autumn rain

A chorus of chimes

Pic taken at Chang Rai, Thailand.


a chorus of chimes
dainty bells ring in the sun
on a windswept day

The daffodil

Photo by Cheezbucketgirl.

I gazed upon a daffodil
lazing in the dawn.
Drooping in the morning chill
she then gave a yawn.
With a shriek that shook the hill,
in a flash I was gone!

Tropical Delight

Soft hairy spines on the outside
Around an oval or round shape;
A woody seed on the inside.

The colour changes as it grows,
From green to yellow and to red;
And like the flowers of the rose,
The fruits are clustered in a head.

Remove the leathery thin rind;
A whitish fruit just like a grape
With succulent flesh you will find.

The juicy type clings to the seed;
It’s watery and often drips.
It’s the firm type I like indeed
That’s crunchy like potato chips.
