Loving you



'How do I love thee?' she asked

and proceeded to count the ways.

'How silly!', said I, 

There is only one way -

Seamless, boundless, like sunshine.

Sunlight, streaming through the leaves -

Or like this dewdrop perching

On the tip of a leaf, so precious!

  2. Thanks, Venu. In fact, I am thinking of pruning it further. Even two images are more than enough; otherwise, I will sound like Elizabeth B B.
