I wished for flower gardens
and so, after much time,
he built them
With much labor
With two by fours
in the perfect octagonal shape
Their edges sharp and true
And then,
to his horror
my flowers bloomed wild and rich
Tumbling over the edges
in a beautiful display of
disobediance

This is adorable.  This reminds me of the afternoon my daughter spent barking under my grape vines.  They looked so nice.  But oh, the next time she saw them.  Joyce

Don't you love it when something as fragile as a flower has the strength to disobey?  Strong message here!  Well done.
