Our wildflower backyard - jcp

Chicory morning, blue from the window,
red clover corners meet day-lily lines.

Finch-thistle thickets, brightest at midday,
uprightly scornful of shade-clinging vines.

Now doused in sun’s set, ablaze with fireflies,
clusters of asters are stars, or star-signs.

I am truly left awe-struck. You are one of the best poets of many generations. Every line is amazing.
