Even though the sky is clear
it has been raining from the camellia bush
as a brilliant Stellar jay knocks drops
out of the pink blossoms.
The bright drops fall
from the petals and the jay
thinking nothing of it
tips more blossoms.
The jay flies away
thinking nothing of it –
the wind comes to chill
the bright blossoms.

Dennis-
I like the line "thinking nothing of it-" in the last stanza.
Could that be a repeat line in each stanza?

I like the way it seems to shed weight as it goes along until, at the end only the essential substance remains.
