Poets Have Been Calling

Suppose they could email me flower seeds This would fulfill all of my flourishing needs In my foreboding back yard and also front Instead of for my seeds having to hunt. As I pressed an icon what should appear Some flower seeds which I wish were here This is not what flower growers had in mind So have to languish and purchase them on line. Bought flower seeds that were a Texas Star Planted month ago but none are seen so far Can it really be true that our Carolina soil To my flowers will seem like aluminum foil. This is what I am starting and beginning to think Won't plant more throwing rest down my kitchen All of my great, perfect flower effort had to pity it Others have been calling me a blooming idiot.

I'm so sorry you are not having a good growing experience with your flower seeds. Loved your line about a blooming idiot. But I like to think of all God's children as His beautiful,blooming flowers.
