Spider Plant Verse 1

Misty creek shimmering in moonlight.
Cold glass of lemonade.

NB: Title changed from 'Bantu' due to sensitivity expressed in Suzanne Delaney’s blog (3-29-2023).

Thank you Andrea. I took it from the quote of her source: "My suggestion: Spider Plant Verse (in honour of this first contest that was triggered by our poems)."

Very clever Bantu, Linda Alice! The implied echo of shimmering contained by the cold glass and the moonlight! Elizabeth
