Hugged close by the cool rhododendron.

I am a daisy starring

The exquisite curves of the close-cropped turf.

The glittering leaves of the rhododendron

Are shaken like blue green blades of glass,

Flickering, cracking, falling:

Splintering in a million fragments.

The wind runs laughing up the slope

Stripping off handfuls of wet green leaves,

To fling in peoples’ faces.
