ANEMONE
Unfolding to the morning’s rays,
a bowl of petals on slender stem, follows the sun
collecting light along tracks of brilliance
to entice insects to its fertile heart.
Refolding in the evening’s ‘simmer dim’,
a cup of petals protects within, awaits another dawn.
WINDFLOWER
Raising bold bowls of colour high,
slender stems twist and turn as they catch the wind,
sending petals fluttering to attract attention
and bring lowered blooms face up.
Standing strong now the flower is blown,
swaying stems send fluff –borne seed to ride the wind.
