Oriental Surprise!

A walk on a rainy day in my overgrown garden
I find a busy street in Japan
Filled with
Bright-colored parasols
Open and raised toward the sky,
Protecting the ladies’ high-combed hair,
Powdered perfect skin
Emerald green kimonos
From sun and wind.
Zinnias-
A song of color and shapes.
