Small, Unctuous frog,

Squatting on his lily pad,

Fearful of a rising wind,

Grip their blossoms tight....

Daughter of Lee, who owned a haberdashery
Her outfits were razzle dazzle, glaringly loud

Zoetrope

...I see you      an      inch      at      a      time,
Filling the spaces left in the fence.

Light of darkness, sun to the sky,
In sight to sanitise the tear of thy eye

Unswept and wept 'pon broken bodice,

Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals 
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats
Cold is the roiling retch of frostbitten flesh

rattling in me pockets. 

Before I go, I do bequeath 
A little wisdom from my keep.

I like places plain.
From fancy environments,
I must abstain.

The same goes for clothing
And housewares and food.
