Beauty me up, artistSomething Gardens
A sunny day
On this, the fore-edge of Spring
It looks like something good happens here
In this, the place they renamed, “Something Gardens”
Although I see really only billboards and bungalows and bulldozed-over housing projects
And strangely, no gardens
But there is the color and promise upon everyone’s skin
The special sauce in people’s blood
So I become sure
I plan to see the Something Good that happens here -those “Something Gardens” that mean to grow
So I stay and I work
I help
I sow, that someone else may reap
I wait
And I see that I, too, grow
Clover Inside
The let-go girl, I tell you
See her, be her
Lest they make certain you’ll wish you were her
Your time for helping about
For tending clover, for being home
Gone, then
Wilted, without having seen the sun
Cancelled, before commencement
So plant your smile inside you now
Let go, girl
Right Garden: A Haiku
Wisdom befriend me
Show from whence your comfort comes
Come ye from the dark?

Define Alone
We are alone, but looking less alone these days, these nights
A bit oxidized, without a second pair O’ eyes to tend to things too
And of gardens, flowers and florals seem to be in season into perpetuity
Libraries, are we, arent we?
May our posterity, should they someday see it so, pity us none
Prairie Red: A Haiku
The walls won’t demur
And the gardens must concede
I caused truth with them

On the Eve
serpent at My ankles, always
And nighttime evermore
“She should have known better,” they’ll say about Me
She, Me and the similar others
significant others who also ought
Now nonetheless wise to the slither
Justice
The Sun
Has no explaining
Nor does the long grass
The angle
The path
They’ve permitted
Justice
I won’t require
Or hold feet to the fire
Of the Squirrel
Stealing, running
From my garden
Ode to My Susans
Dear deliberate garden
Across the lawn grown long
I ask of you forgiveness
For days of absent song
The week raced past so clever
Don't wonder if I care
I tended needy gardens
And wildflowers there
I vow I'll strike the balance
I'll give and take with you
I'll seek you out to ask your thoughts
We'll praise the morning dew
fool me
The big talk
And any glitter
What early signs of a smile
Framing eased eyes
Tilled under now
Deep
Don’t think
It’ll grow
