"Those who have eyes to see

nature proclaiming the coming

of the King’s birthday, let them see."

Ahhhhh..... you're in Australia. My friend Adriel Booker lives in South Australia (Victor Harbor) which is clearly a loooooong way from you. She writes The Foundry here on Substack.

What a lovely poem. Your ending lines about the King were beautiful, Marie. How interesting that I wrote a poem on the word 'mellifluous' a while back, too. Hope you don't mind if I include it here: https://jodycollins.substack.com/p/writing-a-poem-where-to-begin.

((waves hello from Seattle)).

Cheers!
