A Mime's Garden

He crawls around on bended knees Hands on ground, he’s on all four He lifts his arms, to gently pour As water to flowers, he then feeds But still, nothing, comes from ground Too soon to be, and so he waits He watches surely, now his fate While watching quietly, not a sound

Good Rhyme poem Michael. The waiting is almost over...spring around the corner...then the Mime will have a big ol' smile on his face...

Hi Michael, surely this poem can be taken on more than one level. However, having planted seeds last week (live in N. Florida), it appeals to me most at face value. Like your gardener, I am feeding plant food and waiting for the first signs of life. The signs will come; we must be patient. The garden is part of my plan to avoid being a "Hungry & Homeless American." Thanks for your kind words on the poem. Many are falling through the cracks; it's painful to watch. Love, Carolyn
