Though I've Never Been to Madagascar . . .


A shadeburst appears across my screen
I star-like pattern from over my shoulder

I keep this tropical cyperus in a bright window
Reminding of places I've been and of others imagined

The sun here seems cold in its winter brightness
Not warm like it must be through your window

I tried to respond to this and was timed out...
will give it another try...I had looked up your tropical plant...and could see where it's shape would give you a starburst or as you put it a shadeburst in a star-like pattern  

"The sun here seems cold in its winter brightness
Not warm like it must be through your window"...
yes it is warmer here when the sun shines but  I love snow, so that gives me a warmth all its own...

nice to read you, Kraw

hugs
