88 My 17th Leaf
88.
My 17th Leaf
Culled thee from new plant
Obvious ‘coz house new
And height still a foot
Though can grow meter
Here it's called “pasaw”

Third day January
This day Twenty Twelve
Third day of the year
Of Water Dragon
About 12 PM
Beside bamboo fence
Outside to open
Along a path walk
Near its native gate
Aligned with same kind
Just there to have lunch
With Ma'am Diday, Angie
Ma'am Beth and others
New Year left-overs
But Anne was not there.
