Shedding


A tree sheds its leaves in autumn.
A dog sheds its fur in the spring.
One prepares for winter cold.
The other prepares for summer heat.
Shedding the innocent airs of youth
prepares us for the weather of adulthood.

Southern Gentility

Sipping from the chalice,
Her silence conceals malice.
