Complicated Beauty

by Y. M. Roger


The sight I see out my front door,
I'm not allowed to simplify:
The trees and shrubs all effloresce
As water’s falling from the sky…
 
Glad trumpet vines each pullulate,
An urbane sight that draws my eye.
Verdurous blades rise to salute
The water falling from the sky…
 
Lantana’s inflorescence bursts,
Insipient, their visage shy.
The boscage opens wide to catch
That water falling from the sky…
 
The brackens and the chaparral
Join nature's jubilant outcry:
The trees and shrubs all effloresce
As water’s falling from the sky!
