I pick the flowers
One at a time,
Arranging them in my hand
As if were the vase,
And hold them at arms length
On the table I imagine
As if in the vase.

My garden hold but a few
Mostly yellow and red hue,
But in have snuck some pink,
But I have traded some for other things
Plants that tomato and peppers brings,
To make a summer salad soon.

Yet what of the follows picked
To last three days or so
Then they’ll brown
And away they’ll go,
But lasting longer than the pepper
Or the tomato.

Gloom
Inspired by of poet in a potter's field

smiling...

I love to watch a garden grow, and thank you, Prof, for picking this up.

I apologize for my tardiness, but sometimes the poet is picked "on"!   (meaning my realtime life got ahead of my Piptime)

But thanks so much, for the lovely blossoms, and special thanks to a special friend, for pointing out the path through....

Hugs and love,

and hey?

thyme suits ya
