A little while ago
I put in a patch of poppies . . .
after enjoying their winter jewelled coats,
they grew tall
and unfolded their silken petals
winter winds quickly stripped them bare
to show off their golden hearts
they are so pretty from every angle
and provide sustenance to bees and butterflies
when not much else is around.
