The Robbie Burns Garden in the Domain, Sydney
THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
asks us to use the words in blue
TIBOUCHINA
Queen of Australia's Autumn, the tibouchina grows,
A mass of purple flowers to greet the eye.
A South American visitor as everybody knows,
But happy to live beneath our alien sky.
Various shades of royal colour jostle for a place,
Each tree a remnant from a summer gone,
Fragrant in a subtle way but full of glorious grace
And wonderful for us to look upon.

FACE THE MUSIC
Face the music! You can't get free!
At last you must confess!
At last you must confess!
Conduct yourself with dignity
Even though you're in a mess
Even though you're in a mess
*
Too many lies you've told I fear!
Here comes the reckoning!
Too many lies you've told I fear!
Here comes the reckoning!
Even if you shed a tear
*
My response is sure to sting!
Useless to keep up a facade!
Stand tall though wreathed in shame!
I know the telling will be hard!
Confess! And take the blame!

My response is sure to sting!

Beautiful picture and words!
A very nice poem about the TIBOUCHINA. I have seen it when visiting but never knew its name.
I like your second poem as well. We should own up, its good for the soul - you are so right :-)
wonderful both of these.Well done.
We don't have the Tibouchina here in the Sonoran Desert. Now that I've read your enticing poem, I want to know more about it!
