The Art of the Geranium
dear sweet geranium
too often abandoned, unloved and underfed
you are the unsung hero of the Mediterranean
as you flourish and thrive on a breath of sunshine
too often abandoned, unloved and underfed
you are the unsung hero of the Mediterranean
as you flourish and thrive on a breath of sunshine
and hint of rain
your tenacity is admirable
as your colours flare outrageously, and
as your colours flare outrageously, and
your scent of lemon with a hint of pepper
intoxicates as it reflects off a hot summer wall
you grow in awkward spaces
intoxicates as it reflects off a hot summer wall
you grow in awkward spacesco-ordinate with all you see
and you’re designed to always look your best,
and you’re designed to always look your best,
even as your petals fall
and if I were to say anything to you,
dear sweet geranium,
it would be
to always
stand tall ….
dear sweet geranium,
it would be
to always
stand tall ….
for you are art
…. pure art!
…. pure art!
