Song of the poor man

Give me a chair
and let me sit in in your midist

A Sudden Storm

The wind howls, the trees sway,
The loose house-top sheets clatter and clang,
The open window shuts with a bang,
And the sky makes night of the day.

Helter-skelter the parents

The stem of the branch

To see cat and dog
Antelope and elephant
Tiger and lion
