your dose of prose: gardening

A poem a day to keep brain rot away

Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!

May 3rd, 2012

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3^rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

New shoots

Your roots look dry
But please don't cry
We'll fix you right up
With this watery cup
A mound of dirt
Certainly won't hurt
And by summer's end
You'll be my friend

Light switch

Walked through a garden of peace
Watched the "V" of leaving geese
Wondering where they will go
Escaping the inevitable snow
Knowing now that the future is plastic
Not captured for ages with an instamatic
Focused on turning off the switch
That has caused this insane and frightening glitch
Understanding that only with faith
Can we attempt to change our fate

Monday's edition

So, I just posted what should have been yesterday's poem - and here is today's. A nursery rhyme to add to the growing collection.

A good and gentle gardener
Was gifted with green thumbs,
His garden grew sweet garlic, grapes,
green beans, gourds and golden geraniums!
