[Soaring Feather]

dripping water
in bamboo fountains
soft plunking in pools
bf

a flood of rain tears
drips of water twist and twirl
Japanese rain chain
hope

raindrops on leaves
sparkle
moonlight on a bamboo forest
bf

torrential downpour
bamboo bends but dosen't break
typhoon rages ashore
hope

ice sparkling
frozen fountains
wind chimes singing
frozen melodies...
bf

shadowed light
oriental mist
hides the moon
hope

diamond dust
drips on moon beams
fallen silvery dew
bf

[HopeandGlory]

There was a young Miss from Penn,
for whose pancakes I did have a yen,
if she arrives on time,
I'll pay or a dime,
cos' her pancakes are worth that times ten.
