Mimosa Pods - poem

Mimosa Pods


Mimosa pods hang heavily in the heat
Like lurking green and yellow slithery snakes
Just waiting for their hour to drop to the ground
Between the lemon and the apple trees

All is quiet in the early afternoon
Even the dragonflies repose at rest
After lunching on their kindred species
And the mocking bird has sought leafy shade

The hours drowse until September, and
Mimosa pods hang heavily in the heat
