Once Gerkins Have not, the fret of a note held blue Dirty fingers, sifted through A day of gardens and cliff hanger gems It is the seeds that plant there Saturday in comfortable clothes Linen rain perks the last kiss of yesterday I could read between the lines to hollows of hail Or flood the new furrows with tears But rather do I pick food for thought The smaller beginnings are once gerkins Then, with wiley vines, cucumber shines a vivid green And the purpose of the wine is deep The smaller beginnings are once gerkins Growing into freedom, more important than perfection The snap of a good pickle should find applause Copyright Kkh 5/1/10 |

I read this clever poem while listening to some nice Jazz music this morning. Between sips of coffee I enjoyed this very much. A great way to start this day off. Excellent Z. |

 And a mighty fine garden you have here."We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Now you've given me a craving for a gerkin...and I don't have one. But....I can almost hear the crunch. |

ThisDiamond - I heard the snap. Okay! Okay! I'm clapping. I enjoyed the visual originality of your words here too. Nice work indeed. Namyh |

She is quite adept and so very much more when it comes to poetry and a smooth as silk line or two.... |
