POPLARS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The poplars bow forward and back;
Last Line: Cool in the water.


THE poplars bow forward and back;
They are like a fan waving very softly.
They tremble,
For they love the wind in their feathery branches.
They love to look down at the shallows,
At the mermaids
On the sandy shore;
They love to look into morning's face
Cool in the water.
