a pink and yellow nasturtium blooms in an abandoned window box
an unexpected gift
shows it’s bright red flowers
said to bring good fortune
and thriving
a Christmas cactus

Ann’s poetry covers the big topics of love and death with originality. Take for instance the title poem which is full of surprises yet also wonderfully poignant.
