Triplets

tripping triplets

in driblets

uncoupled singlets

In yesterday’s sky

Stars twinkled like her eyes

She is alone today

Birds soared along with

Jaunty colorful kites

Arid earth seared

Overhead sun glowed

Perky flowers lifted heads

Frogs did not rivet

Prowling tomcat jumped

Landing in neighbor’s yard

To meet mistress

Silent monks sat on mats

In prayer hall to meditate

Voice left the temple bell

The moon shimmered

In the lake waters

She sat reflecting

In teeming forest

Orchid basked in glory

In solitary splendor
