My plant I have a plant within my house; it grows from room to room. I do not really bother it, except to watch it zoom. Nor ary drop to drink, I give, for water it don’t need. In fact, I tend it not this plant; Its blooms I pay not heed. Perhaps you know this plant described And maybe you’re like me. ’Tis not a living thing I cite, But only my debris.

Oh so cute Ken!  Funny how some 'things' just grow and grow on their own. I've have heard it called a 'clutter plant'. Thanks for the chuckles on this cold Canadian day! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words.. |

 (giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I know some plants like this, like the kudzu vine! Hehehe, glad we dont have those hungry vines here! (smiles) However, we do have something else that absorbs the water from our state so devastingly quickly; the tamarisk, and that has what has made the drought situation far worse!  This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ken, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Ah, the plant DeBris! How it so suddenly will grow, and gathers me up leafily, somehow it seems to know... that if I give it less in time, it seems to give me more, though I am in much distress, it seems never to find the door! |

I really havent seen too many plant poems.. I wish there was more, if they were as good as yours.  This was a beautiful write, and I enjoyed every word. Anyone can write, But only poets can capture the heart. |

Thank you, Connel for your note. I think there is a bit of this in all of us, but some keep on top of it better. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

LOL at this plant. Ken, do you talk to it? I talk to my plants, but they are all the kind that ask for food and water. |

Dear Midnitesun, you've found me out I'm one who lives alone. For days on end I sing and shout and even maybe moan. My plant stands mute but hears my raves In despair I'm hopeless I threaten it with trips to caves But it knows I'm copeless. Thanks for your chuckles.

I understand rants and raves. Plants are both giving and forgiving. Keep up the lines of communication. |
