Visiting the Garden
Winter is gone
The sun is out
I open right up
I come right out.
My bright red complexion
My powerful aroma
Creatures come to see me,
Without a doubt.
They know my smell
They know my name
They know what I am
Not ever a doubt.
Every year I am the same,
But they always change.
Till next year my friends
Please stay the same.
I feel you looking
I never move, always still
Frozen like a rock.
I am as bright as a flame
And catch the shining sun.
You’re drawn to me
Like a …

I’ll be so direct by saying, if I may, that here is simply, absolutely, the best place to be. Here,
where the rolling hill plunges towards the ocean. Here, where the sight of the Bavarian blue sky
makes my insides feel endless. Here, where, watching as I so often do, as the white cotton
shape-shifts before my eyes, summer-time in suspense. The sun’s rays suspend from the sky,
dangling like the hands of time. They caress me. A pocket watch in the sky, the sky's the best
accessory. Here, where I am more popular than I could ever have …

A Short Stay
Gracefully, she leaps over the fence.
Slowly, she walks through the yard,
Plucking low-hanging leaves for breakfast.
She lingers, as she eats
And suddenly –
Nails skittering on wood, a rush of air through the grass,
Her visit is cut short
She sends herself back into the woods
Just as the dog reaches the top of the hill
Their nest may be elsewhere,
But the pair frequently visit this place.
His little, crimson body darts over the yard,
Her subtle, tawny feathers hide away in a tree.
A constant in the garden,
They are a pleasant sight …
