Beneath the sunset winking
Beneath the skystars twinkling
unmolested lie the oysters...

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the ugliest of them all.
And the mirror replied:

Myriad Shades Of Green

The forest weaves
myriad green shades
from lime and olive
to kelly green and jade
as it keeps on knitting
its cooling shade

The wind's soliloquy
becomes a chorus
sounding new notes
in each insect-bored
hole in bank reeds,
each pine tree,
each wind chime.
