Crumpled creature
casts chrysalis
struggling
straightening
coded dreads
and whispers within
a gardeners imagination
wings fragile unfurl
empty casing
empty
delicate thread
green prickly leaf
and drab baked earth
violet shimmering scales
multicolour heat harden
hinged at thorax
suns day breaks
gardeners sense change
air hot
attempted beat
nth of a gram
= 1/2
two beats
=1
tested frame
turned compost
falters vapours
garden stinks
grower thinks
wings flutter
impossibly airborne
eye sees
flexing stems
midges stacked
airplane trail
butterfly glides
wisp clouds
smudge smoke sky
pink confetti
wed gardener to hoe
tiny dandelion
trying to deliver
yet more seeds
and insects alter course
rustling trees leaves
conduct breeze
and pollinators work harder
as their flowers duck and dive
and sky's clouds graying
block sunshine’s beam
darkness cooling heavy air
gardening inhales new freshness
puffed cheeks blow seeds
and wooden tool shafts
gathered clutter clatter
tossed into wheelbarrow
red-breast robin
spattered by rainwater
to privet flits
silent chickens
distant rumbles
cannon ball jewels
pelt morphing
and shattering
keratin shield
covered beast
of course knocked
of course
butterfly takes heavy connection
trajectory rallies it must
and sanctuary found
behind rattling sash
and shhh and
always stay calm
before storm
top tip today turn compost before storm
