For you, Autumn is flaring
Before the first snow settles
For us, White butterflies
On a red bottle brush
White fragrant delight
Of orange blossom
Walking along path lined
With odorous lavender
Red and white roses aplenty
Further along red grevillea
Compete with red bougainvillea
White chrysanthemum steals the show
Even the birds wear the colour scheme
White cockies and galahs
Wherever I turn in the garden
These are the pleasures
A late spring brings to us
After a rainy winter
In an antipodean garden.
