Brown Thumb

Bought myself a cactus plant With flower on the top, Such a dazzling orange It seems phony, like a prop. Set it on my windowsill So light and air will fill it; Wonder how long it’ll take Before I start to kill it.

Ilene, my Mama had a green thumb...but I'm like you. :( I just don't know how to nurture plants. Lovely write, though. Hugs!
