Garden Between My Ribs
There 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...

Premium Member Garden of Delights
Garden 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. ...

Premium Member 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....

The Garden of Becoming
I 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 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...

Yards
While 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 garden
Smiles 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 U
Three 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,...
