Tea-Arbor

When by the hearth I place
A potted plum tree,
Steam from the boiling kettle
Trails by its branches.

A Plum Tree

Tormented by thoughts
From which I found no release,
I wandered out of the house
And visited a plum tree
In a nearby temple yard.

A Charcoal Burner

By nightfall I fear
It will turn into rain.
The smoke of a charcoal burner
Hovers very low over the woods.
