Form

In a vast field
that revives the spring weeds
a green grasshopper—
wearing his own suit
to conceal himself


In the stillness

A winding trail
sunlight dim in the woods —
empty park

sudden splash:
a mother duck leads her brood
paddling away

The first poem's my favourite - there's something about the personification of the grasshopper wearing a suit for concealment, not for show. Although you could argue that it was an occasional suit.

I would suggest a change in the first line of V2 in Evening Stroll -

Nearby a sudden water splash
a mother duck leads her brood
 swimming away.

Sudden splash:
a mother duck leads her brood
 swimming (paddling?) away.

good stuff

Form: the last line could be made more active: conceals himself. This would also complete the circuit made by the first line (i.e. the "grasshopper" conceals himself "in a vast field". The actions of both object(grasshopper) and observer (poet/reader) are thus diagrammed from outer/larger to inner/singular and back again.
