I noticed last night that the air was warming up in that spring-like way: its texture gets deeper and the night sounds reverberate through it, magnified, or in a series of echoes. The world seems to go more into 3-D. It was Groundhog Day, so...
Anyway I do not write poems normally but I felt like writing a poem on it. A short one but it would take all day to get it right if I sit down and 'work' on it, it will have to come to me.
I think you can buy some cayenne spray to spray on the leaves or you can put some wire mesh down and hope that keeps them off; S. may have a better idea, though??
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
