Tuesday poem: Lycium barbarum
November 2, 2017
Another linked poem, this time published in on-line journal Umbel & Panicle. I had to look both those words up, and they deal with the way flowers are arranged on plants.
The journal concerns itself with poetry on botanic themes, which change with every issue. The theme that attracted me was ‘Nightshade’. My speculative poem is concerned with werewolves and goji berries, and has a very naughty last line. Hope you enjoy it!
Take the time to read some of the other poetry too; I’m really pleased to see my humorous poem amongst some pieces of a totally different tone. A very beautiful journal to look at too. I was tossing up whether to go with a botanical or wolfy picture, and the lupine won out.
