#1

A drop of dew
On the petal of an opening flower
Catches more of Life
Than the human eye

#2

Each raindrop play
On the roof sweetly sings its
own melody

#3

Sunlight on the forest floor
Dances with the
Blowing leaves above

#4

Playing children
are chords
of Nature's symphony

#5

Playful sunlight
leaps gaily into
a darkened room
when curtains
stop their vigils

#6

Water bugs swim crazily around
Spinning out their delicate patterns
Of life
In overlapping circles

#7

Squat green frogs
give their views of life
in sandpaper tones
