Agnes Krampe Poet Free verse

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

Ralph Sergi April 25, 2018 at 3:46 PM Thank you for such a beautiful poetic description of this colorful fungus. I loved it! Agnes Krampe April 25, 2018 at 4:43 PM Thank you for your visit and your kind comment, Ralph.

Andrea Dietrich April 24, 2018 at 3:28 PM 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. Agnes Krampe April 24, 2018 at 5:49 PM 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.

Paul Callus April 24, 2018 at 9:39 AM 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 Agnes Krampe April 24, 2018 at 5:49 PM 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.

Jan Allison April 24, 2018 at 8:53 AM 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 Agnes Krampe April 24, 2018 at 5:48 PM 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.
