My Poetry Chain

I picked the ripple off the rivulet
The hope from birds’ eggs
The lush green off the forest firs
The speed off horses’ legs


The scent off the dewy rose
The blueness off the skies
The velvet off a puppy’s nose
The colors off butterflies

I picked the majesty off the mountain
The fire off the Sun
The wetness off the monsoon rain
The silver off the Moon

The warmth off a friendship
The core off a heart in love
The mother’s cloak of protection
The Saint’s reverence for God above


I picked the sweat off the workers’ brows
Those beads of daily gain
And strung them all into my verse
To make my poetry chain!
