Last Spring I was a guest
Wild mushrooms are hidden deep
I am sworn to secrecy
Autumn’s sunflower turns its face toward the sun
Sows its seeds and birds feed
Grapefruit subdues all other tastes
Clamoring for attention in haste
The inchworm looks harmless
Prolific and resilient
Proves to be charmless
And mistletoe a guise
A subtle surprise
When the smoke arises and embers lay ashen
True love will stand faithful in unfeigned passion

Nice one. I particularly like your harmless, charmless inchworm. ❤
