Sarah St Vincent Welch #116 Dahlias and shade (nod to MM)





succumb to dahlias
clumped tubers
spiked remnants 
the garden's memory
bursts 
yellow
dusk orange and blood
over white salvia, but

 all I want is shade
that takes a lifetime
to grow

    wow the way you pull it all together so simply and beautifully in the final three lines is profound - this poem echoes

    I like the way it travels over the colours then ends in the shade. Great ending
