Poetry “Greenhouse”
Oh greenhouse so lovely,
Summer in winter
Leaves raise and stand proud
Not swirling outside
Respites reward for those who seek
Places of peace
Perches of gaity, unroll like candy
Nooks of detail
Spots, spikes, holes and shadows
Textures bend and spill
Sprinkles of water lie on leaf
Mirroring architecture
Laced with light, laughing
Brimming, fluttering faster
Red poinsettias smile
Dotted with beads of yellow
The weeping willow weeps no more
It bows to the assembly
The beige cacti bloom
Pink, purple and primrose
Grasses wave in winter
Sedges stand tall and still
Eyes leap and heart rests
In your promises
