<p><i>Hydrangea macrophylla</i>
<br>
<br>


Pink bubble hydrangeas – </p>							
Little girls’ dreams	</p>							
Drifting clouds of childhood	</p>						
Landing in beds		</p>						
A lawn, the leaves tinted	</p>						
Every shade, green.		</p>						
Boys’ footballs of petals	</p>						
Lavender, mauve		</p>						
Aluminium sulphate-soaked blue	</p>					
Low-maintenance flowers		</p>					
Like old ladies’ rinses		</p>						
Styled and set in matins dew. 	</p>
