the flutter
of butterfly's wings...
earthquake in japan


aftershock
crocuses sway
in a breeze


chaffinches
bathing in a pool --
tsunami aftermath


tremors
across the pacific
a butterfly's
death


dedicated to all affected by the recent rage of mother nature...

A poignant series of verses Polona. One can't help but send out prayers to the people of Japan and other affected areas. Here on our own west coast we wait for the results of the tsunami with expected 2-4 foot surges...
