Tension teases a tremor of trouble in a tremendous triumph of tranquility. Try to tell a trusting truth.

Soaring above, streak and strike,

saintly sinews of azure sky sensuously con- trast the scene,

spreading spaces, send a simple signal.

Drown the doom of downcast derelicts, drill the drums of dreamy deliverance,

do your dubious duty with your delicate display.

Lounge on your lattice, light logs to lick luscious leaves to viridian,

your colors are loud, and lustfully lead to

lies.

Red, ripe rivulets of rumpling ruffles

race right the rope of rapture and rape. Restlessly reap a righteous stare of raw resistance.

Orange opens the oracles optics

and is omen of auspicious oddities. Often not opposed to oppression,

he is the opus of the opulent opera.

_Pink, pretends prettily for the precocious

people

though powerful pests produce painful pin- pricks on her petals.

Peeked and pallor, she pushes to play.

Yummy yellow, yawns to yesterday's yen, yearning years and endless yesses, Yield to yonder yore.

White, wondering whether real, though willful and wretched not. :

Weightless wings, waves of water,

will you ever wash their wicked ways away? Behold, Burgeoning begonias, bloom and blossom

beneath your balancing beech woven bas- kets.

Back in the bountiful sun, be bold and bring brightness beautiful.
