It's Still Life

Proud Crowns and Coronets

The daffodils and tulips
gyre and dance in the garden.
Spritely. Nimble as if ageless,

swoop, swirl in March’s wind.
They’re a gold-sugared colour
of proud crowns and coronets.

It’s not arty or experimental
or nouveau, this garden, same
blooms, spring yellows, bluebells,

and bright globe-shaped tulips
with nebulous streaks like viral
red galaxies straight from Hades.

The genius of nature at work,
I suppose, and if I were a poet,
I’d find myself writing about it.

But instead, I just watch them
wobble about like toddlers.
