[reprinted from my first poetry chapbook, "The Lady in the Pink Hat," Candor Press, 1969.]

A dewdrop is a dainty thing Upon a tender blade I like its crystal purilence Against the earth floor's jade It's such a proper finish touch To nature's awesome myriad I wonder if it's happenstance This pleasant cool-clear period? I think it not by chance occurred To glaze the slender leaf Was placed by nature's gentle hand To lighten her motif.

A delicate poem that clarifies a dainty dewdrop. Adorable.

Thanks, Victor. Yep, I've been writing for a long, long time. Still hoping I've had something important to contribute.

I really like these 'Early Milt' pieces in which you explore a 'tiny subject.' Tickles my fancy and gets my toes wiggling. Thanks, Gershon

Ah, thanks, Gershon. That poem is probably fifty years old!!! LOL. Really, though, it wasn't that bad, eh?
