Sea Anemones Invaded the Cedars

In the spring rain, the cedars bear alien fruit: gelatinous growth like orange sea anemones, slimy creatures whose slippery tendrils quiver sporeful revolting and fascinating life fills all niches 4/22/2018

gosh, have you entered the word vision contest yet? If you touched this up a bit to fit his rules, It would be a great qualifying entry.

No, I have not. I'll go check it out. Lately, I have not felt inspired to write for contests; I find I do better work if I write just what comes to my mind.

What a cute and informative poem, Agnes! I know about the 'pests' that sometimes invade my citrus trees, but had no idea that this type of fungus existed. Maybe I ought to get me an apple tree:) Regards // paul

Thanks, Paul. I didn't know these existed until we moved here and have cedars on our property - no apple trees near, not sure where the fungus finds its other host.

Wow I learn something new every day! What a fascinating theme for a poem. Loved the vivid description Agnes and the fungus in the picture really is beautiful in a bizarre way:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks, Jan. It was raining all day, and the fungi swelled on the cedars and were the only colorful thing in a sea of grey and some green - fascinating things.
