Elizabeth Kinch Poet Nonet

Essential Lavender

Gnarled and woody its base erupts with
   Greyish green leaves, all veiled in hairs,
        That contain the magic oil,
              To balance the body.
            Scented mauve flowers
                      Added in tea,
                      Perfect drink,
                              Relax
                                 Me.


My first attempt at a nonet. Inspired by reading one by Emile Pinet.
