envoy
bee droning
from a wilted bloom
trumpet flower
* * * * *
or the amateur *englyn* version
hopelessly the honey bee drones within
a wilting daylily
somewhere in his smothered plea
echoes all eternity
englyn: a welsh form
consisting of four lines (all rhyming)
10, 6, 7, 7 syllables respectively
1st line rhyming on 6th, 7th or 8th syllable
last syllable of first line
alliterates with 3rd syllable of second line
that and the justifiably magnificent *cynganned* which I
am not even going to attempt to define, save to say that it is
alliteration taken to the ultimate, constitute another country's
contract with nature through poetry.
please try to find a book on it at your library.
it will astound you.
thanks for your patience

p.s. can anyone tell me the latin name
of the Gabriel's horn?
I have a dozen gardening books at home
and not one of them lists it.
