"My tears are like the quiet drift
of petals from some magic rose;
and all my grief flows from the rift
of unremembered skies and snows".
Of petals from some magic rose
my memories are born again-
of unremembered skies and snows
emersed in tears like falling rain.
My memories are born again;
so sad are those that make me cry.
Emersed in tears like falling rain-
like petals falling from the sky.
So sad are those that make me cry,
and all my grief flows from the rift.
Like petals falling from the sky-
my tears are like the quiet drift.

First Stanza, written by Dylan Thomas,
is from his poem, 'Clown In The Moon.'
A former contest required us to create a
poem using that stanza.
