The Earth's Deep Breathing: Garden Poems by New Zealand Poets | 
The summer flowers are scattering their seed,
The heavy apples dream of other trees.
-Ruth Dallas, Autumn Garden
#NewZealand #poetry
Our monthly literary salon was tonight. It is always a special evening, a gathering of like-minded friends. One of the men got so emotional reading one of his own pieces that he had to take a short break. (I loved his poem.) I read some poetry from the tagged New Zealand collection.
Pulled this from among the hundreds (I'm not exaggerating) of #poetry books in our house because I'm heading to New Zealand at the end of December. (Yay!)
"at what point
does one give up on affection
the quality of holding back
is planted deep in most of us"
