52 My 9th Leaf

52.

My 9th Leaf



Got thee from small vase

Old décor replace

Host plant of 1st Leaf

Thrown away no grief

Diff'rent “fortune” plant



Planted by father

Installed there after

I was there when placed

A little so fazed

First leaf's host no more



Third day October

Sunset was nearer

While feeling not well

I'm under cold spell

Drinking I fruit juice



Just inside our house

Living room, oh browse

On vase first leaf was

‘Lil water still has

Buddhas adjacent



Simple day only

Not planned – truthfully

Just went to Passi

Withdrew some money

Wilted 1st Leaf host.
