I Wore My Clothes Outside Today
Piled high in my wardrobe were clothes that needed to be seen
To be carried upon the shoulder
Slung low below the hip
Tied around the waist
Tasselled sleeves hanging from fringed leather
Flapper dresses swinging in the wind
Belts with bullet holes for fastening
Neon tops to light the way
Stilettos with heels so high
Boots bound with thick leather laces
Steel capped boots without a nick
Snakeskin knee high leg huggers
These clothes need to see the light
Shake off the dust
Let the flares fan like reptiles
Cover the muse with articulated grace
Yes, I will wear my clothes outside today
And encourage conversation about their cloth
Not worry about the mis and the match
As all thread counts

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
