Anemone japonica
_____________________________________
White Japanese Anemone blooms
When the days grow shorter
While lighting up garden rooms
Wonderful during the season’s third quarter
*
How lovely are these flowers
Happiness on a stem
Hanging on into colder hours
Heroic late season gem
*
Only people who dare traverse
Onto garden paths in fall
Open their eyes and are immersed
Oddly in the beauty of it all
*
Nearing the end of the season
Nifty leaves change their hues
No they’re not the only reason
Needed to get out and enjoy the view.
