This is what a row
Of agapanthus should look
Like, mine certainly don’t!
How hard can it be to grow agapanthus?
Year after year I’ve been getting less flower heads from a whole row of agapanthus and this year I only have one (will take a photo of it later)!
spider webbing in
the shadow of green foliage –
crafting his new home
How many petals
Are on this flower, can you
Count thirty-four? So we can
Prove Fibonacci?
Newborn Mulberries
Shyly hiding in their tree
Blushing, nearly ripe!
Look mom a feather!
And another one!
There are so many
Can we collect some?
Can we gather a few?
Yes you may
Collect a few
Gather some
Feathers so soft and fine
Speaking of creation
And the world we have been
Born into
Time for home
These feathers
Are filling the car
On the seats and the dashboard
Flying out the window
And all around
Unlock the door
Phone rings! Landline!
Run for the hand piece
I’ll get it! Will be for me!
Hi Vonita, how are you?
How is Australia? How is Sydney?
I’ve been thinking about your mom
And have a message for you!
If I mention the word ‘Feathers’
Would it have any meaning to you?
At all?

I wrote a poem
About a King Protea
Except the image
Contained in my book
(Not this image – better)
Is not a King type
But a bearded one
Is that a problem, you think?
Will there be lashings?
(How can you write about a King Protea and add a Bearded Protea?
How dare you?
I dare! Because its my book, and I can)
And I love the photo
And I love the name King Protea
Bearded Protea in my poem does not work
Out of ten, green
Fingers have I none – Watering
Can, please help me out
My reader is filled
With amazing pics of Fall
(Or Autumn if you prefer!)
But for me who is
And has always been
A Southern Hemisphere
Kinda lovin’ girl
We are celebrating
Spring time
October, it is here!

Nearby shopping mall
Purple’s pale sister
Standing side by side for short
While, then say goodbye
One day only! Nature’s time
