Camping Out Cold Poem by Douglas Scotney
Camping Out Cold
As poets do,
I used to camp out for the first freesia.
Too cold that grew;
too old I too.
Now I do it
for the first scentless poppy to go straight.
Psst! I need some advice:
what scented flower flowers first
round the middle of spring
that as the poppy looks equally nice?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
poppy stems are bent, then straighten to flower. In Adelaide freesias come first in very late August, then poppies 10 days to a fortnight later.
