      Apple Orchard

      White as popcorn, was the tree

      And underneath it on the lea

      A little goat looked up at me.

      Bright and wicked was his glance

      In that orchard's sweet expanse

      In a mocking sort of dance

      Moved his hooves.

      He was Pan, and he was Spring

      With a sudden saucy spring

      Off he flew . . .

      Just a shadow in the air . . .

      Was he really ever there?

      For all Ear-Pinners

      There are some people

      Who delight

      In pinning people's ears

      Back tight.

      I'd love to be on hand

      That day

      When things work out

      The other way!

      To Snow … or Not to Snow!

      Feather down soft deep snow

      Feather down . . . I implore you.

      The part of me that's Poet

      Simply adores you!

      The part of me that's working girl

      Equally abhors you!

      Snow is like thistledown

      Filigree-ing trees:

      But waiting for street cars . . .

      It's wet ankles and

      Knees!

      Counsel

      Heart, be very cautious now

      Remember . . . once before

      Love was like a bright room . . .

      Then a slammed door!

      In a Fit of Pique

      If you
