sculptures set in stone
beach breeze blows as fresh breath ~
merry memories made
rice pots overflow
sugarcane sweetness drips ~
Pongal showers
quick-change artistry
from gold to crimson to brown . . .
trees disrobed wind-blown
butterfly kiss
rose blushes red ~
daylight romance
rolling river
murmurs and whispers ~
waterfall wonder
sans jurisprudence
in hamlets rife with whimsey ~
poetic license
