A line in yesterdays post was inspired by a picture of poet Wendy Morton.
I wrote her and asked about the picture and she sent me this poem as an explanation.
A beautiful and sensuous portrait of Spring and place. Thank you Wendy.
AT MOONKEY GROCERIES, VICTORIA
In Chinatown
Fan Tan Alley,
fall into the boxes of fragrant pears,
baby bok choi;
decorate the mangos and starfruit.
Water chestnuts and watercress
are in their element.
Here, in the rain,
spring falls pink.
Opulent.
(For more of Wendy’s poetry see her link on my sidebar–Links & Blogs. Her books are available directly from her or through AbeBooks.com.)
