The yellow flower
one of New Zealand’s
finest
Tuis love the
sweet nectar...
makes them happy
squawking their
raucous song
so many places
so many rooms
have been named
after this simple flower
as symbolic as
our flightless bird
I am happy for its colour
brightening up our
green, green world
Tuis in the spring
remind me of
holidays by the sea
Long ago now
but the memories
shine a light
on an otherwise
dark place.
