DESCRIPTIONS by VIRGINIA A. ALLIN

First Line: THE CLOUDS PREGNANT WITH RAIN
Last Line: AT THE SLIGHTEST WIND OF ANNOYANCE.
Subject(s): GRIEF; OLD AGE; RAIN; TEARS; SORROW; SADNESS;
The clouds pregnant with rain
Grow darker and contract
As they give birth
To the gentle rain drops.

The modest cloud maidens
Bathing in the silver tinted rain
Blushed rosily and sped away

As the sun god boldly approached.
The sea is a wrinkled old woman
Waving her rippling arms
At the slightest wind of annoyance.
