Sundrops
Perennially, like the angels, bloom with a bright smile
Like the sun, radiant with perpetual light and life
Ever youthful, and like the goddess Dyana, fruitful
How slimly and sternly you are held by a green stem fife!
Like the primrose or Auricula, bright yellow or pink
Cuter than Primulas, Polyanthuses, and Pansies

Sundrops
Sundrops dapple umbrageous trees

a frenzied tarantella across my lips.

Wings Stealing Sundrops
The elegance of a duck gliding over the still pond....poetry in motion.
Down here the serenity of this afternoon of May
suddenly shattered by a busy kingfisher,
it swoops down to water for day's last prey
sending ripples in the still pond water
and then vanishes in the hushness of dying day.
The Spring comes alive
