A grasshopper hanging on a branch of desiccated leaves at the end of Autumn.
climbing grasshopper
 clings to gently bouncing branch;
  sure to fall
 before the next crunchy leaf
 succumbs to Autumn breezes.

Grasshopper rests on a leaf;
 Untroubled by undulations.

The earth has many keys,
   Where melody is not
 Is the unknown peninsula.
   Beauty is nature's fact.

But witness for her land,
   And witness for her sea,
 The cricket is her utmost
   Of elegy to me.

lands on dappled granite;
