Embedded Files
For July's Poem of the Month, I have chosen the poem 'Japanese Gardens' by Alan Morrison.
It is taken from his collection Shadows Waltz Haltingly.
JAPANESE GARDENS
If I could take you
to those Japanese gardens
throw your worries
to the orange blossoms
I’d lead you back
up those humbling stones
that stooped your head
till it drooped like a lily…
We’d drop bad thoughts
in the lotus well,
catch the koi fish
of your wishes back,
the splash of your last
laughter… if…
stones… the orange blossoms…
laughter… splashing … throw…
no if… I would… I’d
follow you in….
