Poetry As Such No. 2
1. A Place of Peace
- This is a home where swallows build
- and doves come...
2. Summer's Lesson
- I gave upon a leaf so fair
- That fell from branch of fruitless pear...
3. The Litter Tree
- The shopway path of bitumen
- is black and in summer hot...
4. Olive Time
- Olive time is a time of love.
- The world is an olive...
