I often write poems about being in my garden,
frequently accompanied by my cat.
It is a small garden, vines on the fences,
the neighbours’ trees filling my sky.
Frequently, accompanied by my cat,
I sit out under the extended roof
to write in my journal or make new poems.
It is a small garden. Vines on the fences
have spread a long way in my seven years here.
There are two, entwined, flowering in different seasons.
The neighbours’ trees filling my sky
are abundantly leafy all year, stretching wide and high.
Now it is Spring; there are flashes of bright lorikeets.

I can almost feel like the garden steers your hand in writing this... the best of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love how your kitty pops up in all your poems. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a garden where creativity flowers and blooms in the good company of cat and lorikeets! <3
ReplyDeleteIt would be lovely, under that roof, watching the lorikeets! I do love a roofed spot outdoors.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly lovely, leafy hide-a-way :)
ReplyDeleteWonderfully expressed setting
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see them ~ How I would love to be in the spring season right now ~
ReplyDeleteThe repeating lines work perfectly with the concept of leafy twisting vines. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like your repetitions especially the vines - spreading in their various ways each time. Ends on a very bright note indeed!
ReplyDeleteKeep writing about your garden, Rosemary - I do and will - with cats! Your garden sounds just the right place to write, with your vines and the neighbours' trees and, especially, the cat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love how the last 3 stanzas expand on the first.
