A brief interlude between biblical rain here in Wiltshire. The asters are beginning to flower just as the first frosts are arriving 🙄. 🌱

To celebrate the first day of autumn, here’s a poem called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’

[The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]:
 
  comm   n pr   ble    whe    writin    p   ems
in the shape of decid   o   s trees
is t  at once t   ere ar   ives
the fir   t sti   rings of    he new aut   mn breeze,  
  he       oems will begi    to shake    hemselves ge   tly  
  ntil their letters loos   n like leaves,
an they d start to float down
then
 
[The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase]

[The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]

Anemones. My pink ones flower in August, and this little one peeks out in September.

Hee hee 😄I couldn't tell you much more about my mud either. Right plant, right place, is often just luck isn't it?

Really? 🤔 could I ask about your soil and their position?
