My passion-fruit vine has been flowering since December. I am so proud. It has been growing for 3 years now and this is my first season of flowers and fruit. These gorgeous flowers have a strong, sweet musky scent and the fruit is huge, purple and full of deliciously fragrant pulp. I wish I could share. The hardest thing now is waiting for the fruit to ripen! Also waiting to beable to have my favourite concoction – frozen passionfruit pulp and vodka! Yum!

It’s limbs lie low with lashing winds.
Prone it grows along the ground.
Blasted, blighted, stunted
By storm, salt and sand.
Creeping, crawling, crumpled
Like a gnarled, greened hand.

Soaring spirit sailor
Screaming and diving through the air
You chart currents and tides above.
Unbound from her salted depths
Yet her secrets still hold you close.

Blowflies drone and dive against screened doors and windows
Waiting for that moment, as a door is opened, when they fling themselves into the darkened house;
Only to drone and dive against screened doors and windows inside.

Above boy baby’s crown of curls
A wondrous azure sky unfurls;
Birds dart and call amidst the trees
Bright blossoms fat with humming bees.
Sweet, wet grass yields ‘neath his tread;
Small pink fist grasps flower head.
Red dirt stains knees and tiny lips.
Real beauty breathes; the rest eclipsed.

Green Yellow Blue Orange Pink Purple Red
Dog Birds Bugs Bricks
Flowers Leaves Grass Sky Trees Dirt
Wind Rain Bright Sunshine Clouds
Wet Cold Soft Rough Hard
Eyes Ears

Waves wash and water breaks against the wall
A thousand ripples radiate
Slipping beneath the surface
Sinks silently
Stone
Splash
Stone
Sinks silently
Slipping beneath the surface
A thousand ripples radiate
Waves wash and water breaks against the wall.
