The Fact Of Spring Poem by Douglas Scotney
The Fact Of Spring
'Less credulous
than the flower
of the plum
and much less
than the gullible one
of the almond
is the poppy flower
waiting for the fact,
epitomizing tact.'
'So what of the star jasmine,
not flowering till late October? '
'That is the flower of the teetotaler.
It is called by some the too-sober.'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
27.10.2019.
I speak for the southern-hemisphere too-sober.
Picture: the star jasmine, the too-sober, (the Confederate jasmine in the USA) .
I made up 'too-sober'. Sorry if I offend.
