Drink Up Lantana

without rainstorm wilts
leaves of lantana shrivel
and the buds close up
I was told it’s the weather
uplift when grandson waters

we love how Lantana looks in our yard. As long as it gets just enough moisture, it flourishes. Enjoyed this read, Sara

You translated the language spoken by nature succinctly into a comely piece. As usual you breathed life into the words you penned this your poem with. Kudos.

Lantana are very pretty. I picked a flower as a 6 year old for news a long time ago. I liked the 'couple-colour' - pink and yellow. In Aus it's a weed. My pick was near the railway station. Children's watering often means your toes get watered too. (I end up hiding the watering can sometimes, or let them play with the one with a hole in it.) Nice to be in the garden. J :)

Giggle! Too funny that you hide the watering can, but let them play with the one with a hole in it. Thank you, Jeanette.
