Kylie Minogue
Red river, Father,
red river rising, Sister.
Watch as I ripen
into full bloom.
As a sylvan scarlett
sprig does when rich,
behold my napalm flowering,
branches luminous with
pealing flame, and,
in Summer, I thrive,
each petal chasing my Sky King,
yearning for his
tender tending, tilling,
pruning, paring and shaping
offering a route, a direction
for my spread to beyond horizons,
growing into duty,
growing into purity
and that red river is clear
and my pinking petals
spread into a heart
of colour all around.

    Maya Angelou one of my favorite poets.
    🤨 I’ve never heard of the Hygiene Day, however the poem flows with it.
