christmas

Inspired by Dave Bonta's Morning Porch.

White daisies and oregano are bursting with lush green overconfidence. A carrot waves lacy flowers. Bees search the salvia and lamb's ears. Thyme is still woody, more conservative, anticipating dry Summer heat. Clear, silvery globes like alien plums, contrast the red and rusty leaves of the prunus, for Christmas.

I've always had a fascination for overconfident oregano...but seriously, this is a charming poem with beautiful imagery..lambs ears are lovely aren't they...not many can create art out of carrots...you do us proud cranky mango...Merry Christmas!
