the rain drops on

         bougainvillea

Love this! Darting fingers of the morning sun -- that's a good one. How sun plays through the leaves, dotting the plants here and there, like darting fingers touching them. Raindrops do look like crystals of the clearest quality, gemlike when they sit on leaves and petals.

(BTW, I found the anthology "Moving Words" at Kino -- such a small size book! Could've very well escaped most people's notice! )

Thanks!

i quite liked this piece myself, it's simple but effective. this park is near my place, and i cut through it most days on my way to work.

about "Moving Words", yes, it's such a small size book, but most of the poems inside are such lovely works (and i am not referring to my poems there). :D

They are very good works. I think they should just showcase them all somehow. But well it's probably all about who better foots the bill for taking those spaces. *rolls eyes*

yeah, i guessed it's all about dollars and sense. those real estate in the trains and stations are supposed to generate $$
