You put

A big smile on my lips…

Winter moon

 

The naked poet

In the antipodean garden

Dreaming of the elixir  

Of youth, this glorious

Fountain of hot joy

 

Poor rain…

Watering the lawn without

A helping hand

 

 

 

You hold me

Close to your heart, songbird,

Like a lonesome

Cloud hugging

The rainbow
