“ A Cool Winter’s Rest “

A cool winter’s rest
recharged energy
blunt-tipped leaves
marbled pale
and dark greens
edged with yellow
freshly topdressed
flowers developing
into scented heads
slightly indented
gradually turning red
splayed cut ends
watered plentifully
undulating edges
fleshy trailing stems
striking berries
nipped out regularly ...
