Fine Filaments

by Treischel

 

These tiny weeds are oft’ unnoticed things,

with stems as thin as silk worm’s satin strings.

They’re oh so lovely when you notice them!

Fine filaments become my garden gem.

 

Reminding me of comets in the sky,

they burst above the greenery on high.

And when they sway about on summer breeze,

I wave at them, lay back, and take my ease.





These tiny filaments that I describe here are just some weeds with tiny bulbs at their ends. They often go unnoticed, unless you take the time to observe their unique beauty. My good friend Winnie did notice them, and asked me to photograph them for her. So I made a dark cardboard background for them in order to show them off well. She was pleased, and I wrote this little poem for her to go with it.
The poem is simple two aabb rhymed quatrains (also known as coupled rhyme). Hope you enjoy it too.
