of saints in springtime

 

tootsie pop drops

skippin' rocks

watching whale tails

and sail boat sails

on the wind as they drift across the horizon

 

bullfrog bellies

kissin' webtoe jellies

soaring in moonbeams

and cocoon silk dreams

on the wings of a pelican as he takes flight

 

butterfly twigs

dancin' jigs

drinking in firefly wine

and dragonfly shine

on the dewdrops amidst the sacred leaves of grass

 

poems paint

seacaptain saints

burning key shadow heart stains

and nothing more remains

in a box within a box a very long way from christmas
