Wrong Notes

wrong notes
in the piano teacher's parlor
summer breeze

canary song
the piano teacher's dog barks
at my wrong notes

The moor

the moor
white with cotton-grass
no sign of Keith

denied

distant views
denied by full-leaved trees
the evening sun shines

summer stillness

summer stillness banked above the shoreline rhododendrons
