The White Gate

ART IS THE SPARK:

My POEM was actually inspired by a photo online. Unfortunately, I do not have permission to post it on here. This PHOTO is from my sketchbook.

The White Gate

The path is Agapanthus strewn
freedom for women colours;
green and purple heads bob
in the Freo Doctor, interrupted
by blossoms which match the gate.
 
Hung upon squat solid upright stone,
it swings inwards, inviting entry
to this secret garden, lusted with
love, Christmas feasts, familial
fecundity, rapturously shared.
 
Reluctantly closed until next year…
