Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Overwhelming the senses of an already-spring-compromised gardener yearning to plant all the colourful annuals that her garden can absorb, the eye is hopelessly bedazzled by the array, neatly presented, row by precise row, of amazing colour, tantalizing perfume, exotic shapes of wonderful dimensions, arrayed in the greenhouse.
The gardener, absorbed with the rigours and pleasures of this annual ritual, the fantastic choreography of the gardener's dilemma. These are the days of dizzying decision- making, heralding summer months' lavish displays of ravishing form, texture, fragrance and colour.
Heart-breakingly gorgeous displays when the amateurs egoistically mimic Nature's deft, certain hand.
These floral specimens represent as living jewels, their presence an organic reflection of the Earth's surrender of rare minerals; emerald, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, topaz, coral gems. Ours to be had, to be proudly presented in our gardens.
