    The Proud Gatherers

    the water-carriers with colourful urns
    poised so prettily on their heads
    their figures are upright and elegant
    swaying in their bright cheery saris
    they are the life force of the barren land

    Lovely Ladies of Art
    arlene s bice
    The lovely ladies that manage this art
    walking gracefully under a vase of liquid
    allowing the rhythm to match their part
    the lovely ladies that manage this art

    at an early age when they do start
    when they are young, each just a kid
    the lovely ladies that manage this art
    walking gracefully under a vase of liquid.
