Another sweet name for a darling wild flower eliciting a sweet little poem. So much to see from a nature trail. 15th poem for NaPoWriMo2024.
Roundleaf Kittentails
Kittentails held high out of needle-litter.
Content and confident as their happy namesakes.
Purple bells ring a silent jingle on tail-tip as we brush past.
Trail buddies in spring dappled light
that filters through the sky stretched conifers of the Pacific Northwest.
Purr sweet wild babies,
purr, as I dip my head low to greet you.
