Flowered Forestry

And so they go zap zooming Through the Summer rain drops Pausing under wider sun flower leaves to flicker off the heavier of water glistening emerald ruby glints of light That fill a nearby watcher with delight Flickering like faerie through the stems and stalks With all the yellow finches hanging upside down On flower heads they planted here last season Simply pecking in to let the seeds fall down In a sky high forest fed by koi beside their pond That rooted where she cleaned and dumped the filter To burst in blooming clumps on trunks instead of stalks It's not hard to love this witch without a wand
