Rengay Through the Seasons by Masago & Friends

 

 

 


Heading South

Rengay #10, Late Autumn
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

Prairie horizon—
ducks in a 'V' fly in
from the north.

An A-frame roof raised—
the urban view expands./vs

A horse shoe
over the fireplace mantl —
fading memories.

Basement reno—
the wooden sawhorse, now
the kids' pony.

Telephone pole nest—
an osprey lands with fish.

E-mail message:
"Our last kid moved out
just yesterday."

Crust of White

Rengay #11, Late Autumn
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

A Crust of white
becomes a sheet of dew—
early morning.

Steamed mirror—she applies
final touches of lipstick.

His canvas depicts
autumn colours—the essence
barely captured.

New jeans—
that worn out look with
rips and tears.

Winterized garden—holes
where veggies had grown.

The first snow
blankets the yard—branches
of rhubarb droop.

The Graying Hare

Rengay #12, Late Autumn
Max Verhart (NLD), and Vaughn Seward (CA)

Hazy sunlight—
a cloud of lapwings
practicing.

After school at the piano...
thoughts of other places.

Rattling shutters—
Checking the condition
of my sweaters.

The graying hare
hops into a willow thicket—
overcast day.

A kid's shoe with a carrot
sitting near the fireplace.

A grizzly lingers
in a patch of rose hips—
darkening sky.

Pink Cascades

Rengay #13, Late Autumn
by Vaughn Seward (CA)

Cascades of pink
among windowsill cacti—
first openings.

Popcorn out of the microwave—
steam bursts from the corners.

Weight watcher—
the host offers her another
piece of cake.

Channel surfing—
a new gadget shown on
the shopping channel.

Crowded holiday mall—
she squeezes his hand tighter.

A stubborn cork
finally comes loose—
bottle of Rosé.
