Straw lady....


Straw lady mingling
with the crowd
platting rope
selling bags
straw stretched long
from one to the other
eyes turned down
in quiet chatter
pieces of raffia
neatly sown

strands of thread
inter weave strips
scissors clip away the fray
calypso breezes
blow over bags
placed loosely on
straw stand...

Dedicated to Mrs Ambrister
