Beyond Salvage

An old herbal gard’ner turned bard dedicated and well-versed now works his pen from his backyard in plants and poems immersed. His choice nouns engender meaning cleverly minted with scents. Rare verbs gingerly gleaning from time’s savory essence. Somewhat focused on composing but nettled by a drizzle; unexpected down-hosing causes this poet to fizzle. Lo! His inspiration now gone like the ink upon his page. Mrs. Bard calls from the lawn “I just watered the sage.” January 5, 2012
