Heuchera
For @karissalanguage
There are gimmicky hats
with hot-glued flowers
to attract humming-birds
and make your blog go
viral
but my virtual friend
the moonlighting clairvoyant
knows of magic plants
chocolate ruffles
red spangles
coral bells
to add colour to the shade
with native American resilience
scarlet, chartreuse, bronze,
silver, purple, marmalade
nectar-rich
to tempt the
ruby throats
and violet crowns.
