Song of The Anemones No 4: AABB
"*Oui, the winner, American Beauty,"
yet hail these 'Windflowers' Anemones,
flourished yon 'Down Under', 'Aussiszlanders,
indeed a showstopper for bystanders
of all but Europe, Turks, then South due East.
Breed buttercup, yet, some toxic; no feast,
bold capped to stop at bowls use; bowels feared,
not ground hugger, but mid-road, four feet cleared.
Eye catchers, nose losers; scent attracts foes,
begs Ruth from deer,

If I Was a Soul Reader
If I was a soul reader, I'd cast a net to the sea and light up this
hurting world with phosphorous anemones.
If I was a soul reader, I'd know which ones were sick. I wouldn't use
a thermometer though, I'd use my soul meter stick.
If I was a soul reader, I'd bring their dark to light,

Inside Garden of Anemones
Anemones are the symbols of anticipation and fragility.
Daffy bent down suddenly, and picked a small startled white flower. “Anemone,” he said, handing it over; he made her repeat the word until she had it right. “Find me a silk to match that.”

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

Anemones and Shells My Childhood
As I recall my past, it was a sea kissed life
summers spent roaming the Rabbit Burrows
cradled by dunes, beyond Tramore strand
towels stretched out on Woodstown beach
soft powdered sand, surrounded by forest
adventures in the Saleens, daring quicksand
of swimming with dad, high jumping waves
falling, laughing in great gulps of salt water
free and fearless, in our bare bronzed

Anemones
Small lashings contemplate, trigger then shrink!
Filtering through polyps to secluded places
Nerve holds majestically starting to think
Subconsciously able to feel for embraces.
Each sensitive touch has a spirited fibre,
Alluring as bait where the effigies far
None are exhausted yet each, the transcriber
Persisting as one, as our aliens are.
It exists as immune, as one does everyday
Like a tendril
