FREDRICKFRED
Out of wooden hives
Shaped like sheds
Swarms of lawnmowers
Drone on methodically
Bees bottoms
Disappear into the open trumpets
Of much-loved flowers
With delicate splendor
Under represented butterfly’s
Dance over fenced in gallery’s
Of suburban colour
Showtime, for the labours
Of genuflecting gardeners
Peppering their sentences
With Latin sounding names

Back Gardens in Summertime
