Regal flower of South Africa
Chosen royalty over flora kingdom
Adorned with halo burning bright
Atop a gracious scepter crowned
Finely decorated with cerise
Majesty in all his finery
Stems bow to the ground
All hail magnificent
King Protea

I captured this yesterday at our local school. Beauty surrounding us if only we see!
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
