FOOLISH FOLLY
Along the walkway where I wander
grows a springy wire-haired moss.
To it sticks the fairy feathers
fallen from their frilly frocks.
I picked a pint of fabric fibers

through the hole I left unsewn.
What a mess now I am making
as my strolling seeds the soil.
Flung afar from fancy frolics
caught among my cuffs and folds.
