Lupins After Rain
By Talisker
29 June 2007

Drinking deep your beauty now

bathed thus in the even-glow

bright-hued spikes are made to bow

tears of neither joy nor woe

palm-like fingers make a basket

fast to hold a diamond bright

every flower a fairy casket

cossets gems of pure daylight.

I like the ability you have to conjure up colour without even naming ONE.  
 
The lack of punctuation makes some of the lines read differently on separate readings, which makes me read again and again. We've all seen this ... possibly even taken photographs, without capturing the essence as you have here. I wondered if it was really one of the "Jules" poems?

My favourite garden flower, for all sorts of reasons - and rendered beautifully here in words. I like all your stuff Oli, but sometimes, you really hit home. 
 
Beautiful. 
 
Phil.

By the way, sorry for nicking your bear. You have one part, I'll have the other.

"...bright-hued spikes are made to bow  
tears of neither joy nor woe " was really nice. :D I agree with Fellpony, you made me imagine colors without naming any. :D I loved it. :)

You conjure up a really good image, especially apt after all this rain we've had.

I really loved this poem. It conjures up the garden after rain, everything glistening. Beautiful.
