Cinquains in a California Garden Dream
Fragmented verse describes a garden scene with uncurved branches and a silver candelabrum. The narrator follows glittering tinsel, encounters a snail, and notes almond blossoms, a yellow rose, and red or white roses. A wind gust scatters plum blossoms and goldfish rise as brown bark and seared wood frame a surreal woodland tableau.
