The ephemeral nature of my garden
In full bloom Or fruiting, like my fig Layers of loveliness And colour contrasts Grasses waving at spent blooms Star bright and beautiful With contrary friends Flamboyance declared With a background of shell flowers Shells to play with and rearrange Blossoming bamboo And delicate fans To make whimsical fish? Taking a longer view Or closer At the star of this month’s show
It’s not a garden, but a simple patio to play and entertain in, and it gives me lots of joy. Many thanks to Amy for prompting me to share it, and to long suffering Debbie for letting Six Words flourish. And a happy weekend to you all!
