Stones Of Cherry Poem by Saiom Shriver

PONDICHERRY CHERRIES

By the Po and Potomac
and in sweet Pondicherry
are many many
trees of cherry
each
with many scarlet cherries
.. each a cheery chariot
of future trees of cherry

How different these
seeds of life
from cherrystones
.. clams ripped from
their ocean thrones

-
(to C and P DiFazio)


FRONDFRAMED FRUIT

Juice for the
frondframed fruit
rises from coconut
palm's hidden roots

as water like grace
turns into leaf lace
