Blossom Fall

 

day moon
poui blossoms fall
in the car park

 

 

Kites
 

even babes in arms
watch the airborn kites
pink poui blooms

 

 

Fold*

 

Caladium Leaves

 

Caladium leaves broadening and widening,
The rainy season is here once more;
Umbrellas over heads spanning,
These colourful ribbed micro tents;
Caladium leaves broadening and widening;
We meet at church, us faithful ones,
From different points to our centre gravitating;
To an oasis, in spite of the rain,
To drink from our Jesus, together thirsting;
For that living water of which He promised,
Caladium leaves broadening and widening.

 

 

And Honey

 

morning showers, a dash of honey;
added zest, to that cup of tea
a riddle of sweet and strong;
on the seventh day answered, honey
strength and stay, and length of days,
the bridegroom's pledge to his honey
the sweet sacrament over, they wing
their way to the guerdon honeymoon
night sky; a gossamer veil covers
the treasured land of milk and honey

 

 

*The Fold debuted with the poem, "Mud" in Sketchbook: Vol 2, No. 2 February 2007.
