Ode to a Lettuce Deva
(written for Harbin newsletter, 2002)
Rays of sunlight glimmer,
Yellow, the corn leaves shimmer;
I quiver in delight,
A faery is calling my sight!
Reaping the fruits of devic toil,
Spilling calendula oil,
You grasp the tomato ripeness,
Its' skin bursting ruby kindness.
I spy her secret regis-
A devic spirit disguised as lettuce,
Reaching for for its last brood,
Begging to be loved and understood;
Head crowned in purple bells,
Impish energy deep in dells,
Spindly arms seven spiraling.
I sighed, "I am" she cried!
