94 My 21st Leaf
94.
My 21st Leaf
Picked thee from root stock
Like a mini rock
That's rough and dusty
Brown, pungeant, spicy
Wew! It's “ginger” leaf!
Peasant Garduque
No other than me
Planted by my hands
Arancillo lands
A crop squatter too
First day of last year
I planted it there
The last time I saw
Only few leaves grow
One Twenty-Six Twelve
Carved fish pond paddy
Western side levee
Inside a plant box
Black, loamy soil stocks
Weeds and dirt surround
It's first time to see
Leaves of crop by me
First time this year
Visit fish pond near
First time write so late!
