Diary 3/23/14

Humbert Wolfe (1885-1940) was an observer of nature. Not even Hubert, Humbert has the only tulip reference in Familiar Quotes. He wrote in 1924:
Tulip

Clean as a lady,
cool as glass,
fresh without fragrance
the tulip was.
  I like this one, too:

The Gray Squirrel

Like a small gray
coffee pot
sits the squirrel.
These are only
the first stanzas, and they deserve further reading if I can find them.
Happy Sunday, very sunny here today with a week of showers on the way.
