Sharmaines Carnations

Sharmaines Carnations
Copyright 2010 Russell Leslie Howells

 Through the garden I follow
as she picks her own bouquet
arranging them in the vase
as we go from bush to bush

Their colours-subtle
except for the blood red
Their perfume
 invading my senses
as we walk

She cuts slips as we go
planting them alongside others
already struck
ensuring continuity of supply

Once inside I place them
in the centre of the table
A joy-for us both to enjoy
Sharmaines Carnations
