Discarded seed balls
Gathering here and there
Rain cloud

A thirsty crow
While filling the pot
Downpour.

Field going plowman
Walking by admiring
The double rainbow.

Mountain in the distance
Looks bright
Dry waterfall.

Gusty wind
Whenever it blows
Falling blackberries.

Entering the city
On the roof of the village bus
Tamarind flowers.
