Pearls On the Caladiums

Pearls hang on the Caladiums
Swirls of fog and rain from the night
Twirls that flow to the very edge
Earls no more blessed than I with this right

Heat will soon evaporate the dew
Treat short lived but the memory
Sweet lingers relieves stress of day
Greet this day appreciatory

What a lovely image of the dewdrops on the caladiums, Sara. Very uplifting message in this excellent entry for Rick's contest. Wishing you success. As for my grandmother -- that poem was hard to write because it is true. We later learned my grandfather had married another woman before my grandmother, so Dad and his sister were illegitimate. Love, Carolyn (Been having trouble opening Soup Mail)
