Poem

[Dave]

Hi Mark
A very beautiful and intense poem that captures the spirit and profundity of beauty. Thanks

[Bev]

This is beautiful. These struck me the most, at first 

green with velvet lavender and plumbago blue,
shaded bouquets unfolding the first scents of dew

I love gardening and the beautiful gardens in South Africa, which is my home country. These two lines pull on all the senses making the reader "experience" being in the scene.

I read it a few times and it's all very vivid and has a tactile feel to it.

Thanks for reading and kind comments, Daryl, Dave & Bev. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.
Daryl, it's great to see you back in the mix after your sabbatical. Nice to see you posting again, Dave. And Bev - another blerrie Saffa - who let you in?
