Poems can be serious or little ditties. Here is a little ditty inspired by Tree Mallow.
Lavetera Maritima
Nicola Morgan
Sea Mallow
Tree Mallow
Fluffy pink like Marsh mallow
Standing on the headland
Brightening our day.
Tall tree
Small tree
And each size in between tree
Offering sweet nourishment
To insects on their way.
Pink flower
White flower
All shades you can think flower
Radiating beauty
In the sunshine of the bay.
Minature tree
Perfectly formed
May we who behold your glory
Recognise in you our own
deep down dependence
On the earth which has given you birth.
