Per Forming Philodendron
Giant green hands on thin frond arms
Fingers spread to catch each drop
Of promised rain
Reflected shades of yellowed sheen
Waltz with shadowed hues of green
Lighter fingers wave in wind
Leaf end tips like witches nails
Curl and close all clasped and pinned
Rivulets to guide each drip
Down to waiting root ball
So life water flowing down
Is caught to feed another crown
Of waiting hands
