Garden Between My RibsThere is a garden between my ribs,
A hidden place the world can't see.
It blooms in silence, softly lives,
A patch of green inside of me.
I never chose the seeds it sowed,
They came from storms I couldn’t flee.
Each broken word, each heavy load,
Took root beneath my shattered sea.
It grew through cracks, it pierced my bones,
With petals made...

Garden of DelightsGarden Delights, a set of stamps
from 2024.
features stamps in which there are
different scenes of four.
A ruby-throated hummingbird
takes great delight
in hovering near a flower,
each a pretty sight:
A zinnia, cigar flower,
a spotted touch-me-not
and the fourth – a sunflower,
which I like a lot.
Oh, Sunflower, with large florets center,
be prepared to meet
the hummingbird approaching you
with her nectar sweet.

The Italian JobI'm feeling dreamy again today
must be the weather, some may say
but my mind transports me back, to a peaceful place
to a place in Tuscany, my dreamland to chase
Its a little back yard, Italian inspired
all the charm of the Med , no travel required
it has elegance and is chic ,to draw in the senses
its my...

In a Garden of Dresses, I Am the ThornDo you
Think
They noticed me?
I mean
I noticed
Them
Perfectly
Perfect
The epitome
Of beauty
Without lifting a finger
Their skin
As clear
As my delusions
Why did I
Pick
This dress?
How did I
Walk out of the house
With the smile of “I look pretty”?
They must think
This bow in my hair
Looks...

Can you dig it?
Dig...black soil,stone. earth worms wiggle, decayed bones
Dig... scatter seeds there, sprouting, searching sun and air
Dig ...to hide our dead, six feet under, body bed
Dig...shovel and spade, flowers grow from planted pain
Dig...out of this hole, skin so pale and Icy cold
Dig...deep down inside, reveal secrets graveyards hide...

Crafty little friend of mine
He’d stay for a minute and watch the sun. Then disappear like the wind… and then there was none!
He’d follow my footsteps in the snow.
He’d watch me off to work in the car go.
He’d be around at breakfast and tea time and would always get fed.
He’d patrol n the nighttime when we were in bed....

garden gnome Jimgarden gnome Jim loved the marigolds especially
And the sunflowers of course, and petunias, luckily
He tended the garden, every day, admiring each berry
Occasionally sneaking a radish, rose, or a strawberry....

Not ResponsibleThe power depends on the people’s will
They were taught to believe this at high school
But as practice has shown, powers like to kill
And the people are forced to obey under rule
So the contract between the people and power
Looks a bit stretched cause it was preset
Do I need a law how to water my flower?...

The Garden of BecomingI plant no seeds in soil bare,
But in the unseen breath of air—
Where roots of dreams reach deep, unknown,
And blossoms grow from seeds unsown.
Each learner walks a secret path,
Winds shaping sails with gentle math.
No single map can guide them all,
For some must rise, and some must fall.
I weave the light through shadowed space,
With tools of...

It's too beautiful within your soul, like a garden blooming under clear and endless skiesIt's too beautiful within your soul, like a garden blooming under clear and endless skies,
It's too late within my thoughts, where the shadows of memories lie like a veil of silk,
We share the same secret, a dance of dreams entwined in the silence of the eternal night,
But no one knows until when, for time is...

YardsWhile I was at work my yards were busy
a nameless, white flower plucked
from my front garden
lay on the brick shelf by the gate
wrapped in cream silk
its stem inserted
into a (dry) plastic flower tube
A gift set down in forgetfulness
or just discarded
While out the back a soft touch indoor football
orange against the fake grass
lost and over wall...

A Crow in the front gardenSmiles a plenty
Under the veil of malice intent
Healthy love and support
Just a disguise for abusive behaviour
All the moments we see as beautiful
Just a front for growing dissent in the home
Dresses, Suits, shirts and ties
Expected Uniform of joy and of heaviest heartbreak
It's too far to travel either way
Too far gone in the eyes of societal gods
All...

I LOVE UThree words so powerful that it sends us over the rainbow, I love you, can inspire our world.
Like the feeling of sweet ice cream, we love the words, I love you.
They make everything better, the words, I love you.
Like the smell of our favorite food can make us drool, I love you,...

Upmarket Gardener
Fred entered his shrubbery
in a horticultural society gardening contest
and wising to wager on the outcome
as to which bush was the best
bet his hedge to win
and yet at the time quite mature
Fred’s Famous Fertilizer Co., Ltd.
went badly belly up in manure
sadly out of business
broke bust bankrupt for ever
as altho' he had bushels of bags
he couldn't get...
