An Innocent Query

"She looks like a doll! " Exclaimed the crowd in unison.  Her cheeks blushed And turned pinker than usual.  She smiled as she walked past them,  Waving and nodding to her fans.    "She looks like a doll, badly battered! " She exclaimed to herself.  The mirror,...

The Whispers of Love

The Whispers of Love

The swaying trees,  The leaves caressing one another,  Oh! Were they in love?  Were they talking about their future? That alas! Wasn't in their hands?  Or were they just discussing the present And deciding to live the moment?  The gentle breeze carried their...
