One cluster of Mountain Azalea
   Stands out like royal regalia,
 Adorning a near naked vagrant --
    But much more pleasingly fragrant.

 seen through bare limbs;

Against the bright white palace domes
   fluffy clouds seem a tad too much,
 and so they start to limp on home
   like a gimp beggar on his crutch.
