Spring Poem Poem by Frances Macaulay Forde

Fluffy yellow balls appear
near long thin leaves
signalling an Aussie Spring
bare branches show specks
of green - soon purple petals
will carpet my patio floor

orchid-like the humble
onion weed reveals it's
stubborn beauty
forest search for harden
bergia - purple creeper
where blue wrens flit

wonder why I'm drawn
to spikey leaf and wild
flowers Everlastings
