RANDOM POEMS 41

COBBLER



I am the tree

which made the

peach which

became the cobbler,

said the peachtree.

I cobbled the street,

said the stone.

I cobbled the sea,

said the wind.

I made the wind

so I cobbled the sea,

said God.





HUMANKIND AND ANTS



The ants who build

wee little hills

in the cracks

of sidewalks

trust in the gentleness

of humankind.



DAISY SURRENDER



The daisies' white petal

flags of surrender

flutter in the breeze

.. so tiny... so powerless

.. asking mercy of

the mower's blades..



What was their crime?

In the sun the flowers

flourish
