94. Farewell glorious sun
Soon fearful darkness settles
But morning soon comes
95. Fireball quick to sink
On a yellow mottled sky
Fiery sting sears the eye
96. Mayas in summer
Exchange gossip by the bush
A feral cat waits
97. The end of summer
Tiptoes in without notice
A lad sighs glumly
98. Tree thrives in sand dunes
Defies harsh oppressive climes
Nature’s way challenged
99. At dusk the early moon
Hovers on the darkened hills
Portending cold nights
100. Boyhood summers gone
Passing through thorny thresholds
A gate creaks close
101. Days in midsummer
Filled with youthful effervescence
Only for a nonce
102. Rainy afternoon
Scatter silver darts about
A puddle ripples
103. December hearts are cold
But hearts in May are warm
Yet both throb for me
104. It’s the time for cheers
As the sheepskin is bestowed
He has come of age
105. Where have red roses gone
In carmine glory now
Vanished in a wink
106. Cicadas protest
All intrusions in nature
Except for its own
107. Shades of night falling
On a bucolic hamlet
A tambuli calls
108. Sweet scents of ripe fruits
Waft in the hot midday air
A rude bird chirps
109. Angels brought forth rain
To the thirsting fallow earth
Demons drew lightning
110.. Shall I look for you
In the season of the heart
My mind says beware
111. Loneliness seeks ease
With strange alien faces
Babbling nonsense
112. Gather garden blooms
On April mornings at dawn
Ere sun’s envy roused
113. Trudging down a stream
On a cold wintry morning
Fish hid in white reeds
114. A country lane stroll
Tramping through twigs and dry leaves
Snapping underfoot
