Poetry Features Introduction
The Orchard After Rain
At dawn, the orchard wakes in silver light. Rain pearls cling to each leaf, bright as glass. A tui whistles; the branches answer back, while apples, red as lanterns, wait below. Manaia lifts a crate. Hemi hums a tune. Soft boots squelch; quick hands gather the fruit. The morning smells of wet earth and sweetness. By noon, the sun has warmed every row.
