There hangs a drip that never drops,
on philodendron stem it stops,
hanging like a diamond tear
from the lobe of leafy ear.
A tear of joy? It will not say,
it just evaporates away.

BTW, Betty, “Stuff Red Said” has evolved into “The Introspective Introvert”. (http://simplybluey.wordpress.com). You might want to update the entry on your BRoll.

Thanks for letting me know, Ben. I’ve changed it, plus resubscribed. 🙂 (I need to get over to her site more often!)

I love your children’s poetry best of all, Betty. Ethel says: Such a small little thing, but so important.

Thank you Thomas and Ethel. Children’s poetry is always more fun to write – maybe because we can be more playful?
Hope all is well, and that you’ve settled into your new home nicely!
