Namaqualand after RainBy Plomer
Poem
nbkofefjeioroekfeni
od
Happened before/recurrring
back to life
Again the veld revives
rhymes with Veins
The sound of rain Light and sweet
Imbued with lyric rains,
Blood?
And sap re-sweetening dry stalks
Perfumes the quickening plains;
Metaphor compares roots to stars
Small roots explode in strings of stars,
must come to life
When they bloom
Each bulb gives up its dream,
Wealth personification
Honey drips from orchid throats,
Love, fertility and
all glisten together sexuality
Jewels each raceme;
takes a breath at dawn (cause of heat)
The desert sighs at dawn-
Comparison
Cold - Northern Hemisphere *can grow in mud
As in another hemisphere
Spirituality
The temple lotus* breaks her buds
On the a en ve air-
Like a woman’s dress
A frou-frou of new flowers,
Frills Dress
Puff of unruffling petals, No choice
While rods of sunlight strike pure streams The erosion
The rocks look like there are veins
From rocks beveined with metals;
Deserted
Far in the gaunt karroo
bare
The winter earth denudes
∴ was no rain in past months
