It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: . . .

Leaf of a water lily ~
Floats gracefully by.
Birds sing on pond twigs
Frogspawn floating in clear jelly ~
Sets tone to frolic.

Winter is here
Threats of sleet
And blowing snows
Taint yesterday’s

On the floor
Of many houses
Decorate stairwells
At Christmas time and
Emit wonderful fragrances
Of pine that no spray can match
Tiny replicas adorn hallways, tables . . .

But smell their fragrance
I hear a voice that interposes
But no one is there
I walk alone down the pathway . . .

She sets the stage for action.
She with the V-shaped headdress -
And low heeled shoes,
Shy countenance and perky grin.
She who lives to honor the life

Detailed beauty
Ornamented with strands
Of pearls, pink glass bulbs, and
Tiny porcelain dolls with shiny clothing
Topped with star and sprayed . . .
