Glory of sunrise Raindrops on the stalks of trees Transience of nature.

Dragonfly hovers A noiseless helicopter Deafening silence.

Young coconut juice So tempting on a hot day Good to the last drop.

The cat stops and stares Curiousity does not kill For the cat moves on.

With its wings outstretched The egret soars through the air A delight to watch.

With so many eggs To look after as a mum Her legs are all tied.

Oh custard apples You may look unattractive Sweet and creamy you.

With roots latched in mud Lotus submerges nightly Flowers of rebirth.

You may not like frogs The egret thinks you are dumb It swallows the frog.

On the beach they play Drenched with sea water and sand The fun of childhood.
