my calico cat

April 15 — Botany - explore the flora of your region! Somehow include at least 3 of the 5 senses.

my calico cat
poses ornamentally
by the bottlebrush
whose crimson filaments
& pops of yellow pollen
contrast with her coat

my calico cat
lies in an arc
beneath the polygala
whose noisy party of bees
makes mauve petals
buzz & tremble

my calico cat
sits like a bread-loaf
by the boronia bush
whose pink bells tinkle
peals of a fragrance
beguiling & soft
