Shades of bitter and brittle Frozen through In deepening shades of blue Where away from the powder you see very little Then at once the melting of frustration Getting ready for the allium invasion
The pale minty expanse As blades are sprung In what has begun The rays and the petals slowly dance Then comes the warming of inspiration Getting ready for the allium invasion
The lavender and lilac beckons As star stained skies spin To the blossoming world we are in Mornings first rays will reckon Then the joyous of infestations The dandelions are tourists watching the allium invasion
The cold flames shall fall Upon once green lands Soon to be choked by winter’s strong hands Then we can fondly recall How we long for the perennial celebration Dreaming of the next allium invasion.
A distant cousin of the onion it looks like a purple dandelion on steroids.
