On holiday

On the Isle of Skye
Some things are the same as home
Bilingual road signs

On the Isle of Skye
Clear, from a stand of green birch
Call of a cuckoo

Call of a cuckoo
Rings far across green hillsides
Everyone goes, ‘Ahh’

On enjoying a quiet moment
(Tanka)

Pale blue evening, stars
Venus and Jupiter shine
before moon rises.
A blackbird, the last songbird’s
sweet voice in the fading light.
