Blessed are the flockmarked trees and bees made gold.
Indispensable bumbles, fluffs and fauna.
Boysenberry,
Cranberry, tulle, Boysenberry, pawnbroker, penumbra. They scatter.
A fire above the blazing garden battle. Honeylove for a pout,
teacakes, Earls in Grey and flour white loaves. Caught at
the edge, the bee-sage makes a heavenly stout: pressed to lips,
a pleasant hum to make good the year and sun’s sweet sallow.

Poetry and teatime in a garden of flowers.

That awesome moment when you read an Eve Redwater poem. Have you published a book with your best works yet? If not, you should probably consider it. Great job, as usual. Cheers.
Hi Jan, thank you! No, I’m not ready to publish yet, I still have a lot of improving to do.
Oh, Eve.
Absolutely. More. Than. Lovely.
Thank you very much.

Again, an absolutely wonderful delight of a poem. The language tumbles down the lines and the images are as exquisite as life.
