TRIPADI
They carry dreams on wispy wings
Dragonfly queens, buzzing bee kings
Golden pools of sunshine their basking space
Silhouetted in chrome moonlight
Shimmer and dazzle silver bright,
Kaleidoscopic fairies in disguise!
Amphora shaped by a potter
Glaze!--Liquid blue sky can't muster…
The magic of earthy terracotta
The fragrance of blooms in clusters
Tender sprigs sprouts dainty flowers
Medley of mint, turquoise on my ewer!
