BEVERLEY GEORGE White Pebbles pagoda roof of the Japanese Garden - a cirrus cloud white pebbles - the old gardener rakes new flow lines the waterfall - laughter ripples from the pavilion a bride starts along the temple path - gleam of gardenias under the curved bridge the roll and tumble of bright koi a child's smile lit by electronic flash - dragonflies the hum of bees - two old ladies finger willow buds boxwood bushes curve into each other - courting doves distant traffic - the creak of pine boughs beyond the wall lady in kimono opens a sun umbrella - waterlily pods empty temple - through a round window the bamboo pergola shade - shadow of a dove crosses the shrine sound of the breeze before it touches - a crocus quivers mondo edged path twists towards the exit - scent of jasmine
