A Seasonal Love PoemA Poem by Chris Shawlace caps are a type of hydrangea with very delicate lace like blooms
In my garden you will find
the final fling of summer wine, as weak and hazy sun bleeds through. Damsons drop to stain the path. Close by a birdbath overspills, a thrush drinks slowly, takes its fill. Purple heathers have replaced that space where lace-caps caught the sun, where now a spider's web is spun. A finer spread you will not see of drooping headed fuschia bells, that tumble freely from their beds. But when I see the cherry tree, whose leaves have parted company, to flirt with those of ochre hue, with fondness I remember you.
