Ghairo Daniels Poet Idyll (Idyl)

fig tree

fig tree stood sturdy in backyard
       moon cried, sighed, shone nevertheless 
           lilies splendid we picked some sweet
                breathing nature's savoury lore
                  rain showers continued soaking 
          we donned our brown velvet jackets
      feet safe in crinkled leather boots
henceforth wrinkled folds golden holds ~

gold burnishes our folds henceforth
       feet nails dissipate in ether
           velvet frays to shreds in clouds bled
               skin flakes in soft spring rain showers 
           breath continues octagonal  
       blooms tightly curled, first lily shy
    moon fully undressed brings fresh corn
sighs ripple surface of fig drinks ~

Victor Buhagiar June 3, 2026 at 10:18 AM I love figs. Soon it will be time for them to ripen. One can understand the passage of time. The fig tree's sturdy presence acts as a grounding force, while the lilies—first shy, then splendid—represent cyclical blossoming despite the rain. A great poem.
