Where the wild things grow

They always find a way,
A way to make their presence felt.


They push through
They climb
They clamber


They hang
They hover


Like a mischievous child peering through the safety of parental legs
At first shy and reticent...


Until noticed...
And then it's all bravado


Reaching, stretching, creeping
Demanding attention.


Amazingly, they know how to show their very best
Know what frames them perfectly


Know just when to twist and turn and cascade
Creating patterns and colours designers can only dream of


Adding beauty to the drabbest of corners
Like a silent artist


They create masterpieces
Unexpected and seldom appreciated


Except by the few who stop and look
And savour these corners of the world


Corners of the world...


where the wild things grow!
