I will arise and go now,
and go to Innisfree.
W.B. Yeats, “The Isle of Innisfree” (1888)
Innisfree Gardens
Cup Garden
fills senses
to the brim.
Sunshine and shadows
point fingers at topiary
in iconic garden.
Komodo dragon
stretched out
seating for one.
Fountains shower
cool spray
over smiling poet.
Contemplate a genius
designing
living art
Meditate on
the mastery
of rock, water
wood, sky
Alice
drinking spiked tea
with the Mad Hatter.
