The clematis are dying in purple paper clusters,
a pretty, dusty, crepuscular fading
of old lace, doilies,
beside the newly hatched delphinium -
only the daisies seem invincible.

smiles...of course the daisies are...
most everything understands the seasons...the rhythm of life...
Crepuscular is such an explosive word - fantastic!
Somehow the challenges of keeping a garden ... maybe it's a lazy gardener :-)
I love the use of the word, "Crepuscular." Wow :-)
what a beautiful peice... !!
I feel better. My clematis are dying too and I thought I had killed them - must just be the first batch fading, a second will appear. I love "only the daisies seem invincible."
Lovely...my clematis are dying too...daisies are the friendliest and most persistent of flowers...
I love the word crepuscular and daisies certainly do seem invincible. Pretty piece!
Enjoyed this! There always seems to be one to replace the other in summer but I agree daises (and buttercups) do seem invincible.
ah the daisies. They are invincible and impervious to anything. :-)
Just beautiful, I do love this and agree the words
dying in purple paper clusters,
a pretty, dusty, crepuscular fading
are so descriptive.
I'm surprised after 102 years she is not pushing up the daisies!
