Tearful eyes speaking
“Goodbye my Camellia
Fairest flower of red.
Before us you were wisked
Away by a thief,
A mischievious marauder
Living in a tree
Near your fragrant scarlet blooms.
His greed became your demise.”
Choka
I just saw that pesky gray Squirrel who is a frequent visitor to my yard snatch a beautiful red blossom off my new Camilla plant I just bought!
As I watched, frozen in horror, he scurried up the tree to sit on a branch munching on it for his mid morning snack.
