Delighted By My Neighbors Ingenuity

a fallen log lies in the yard.
Can imagination rescue and recycle it?
Beauty of flowers could enhance and warm it

stump of an oak
ingenuity could possibly salvage it
healthy green plant can enlighten and enliven it

all it takes is an idea person
with touch of a master gardener
My neighbor shows proof of this
All over her yard

I see and am intrigued and delighted
Wondering if I could ever replicate her
enthusiasm and imagination?

I once tried to plant flowers in a stump; it looked fantastic for a tiny while, then the stump fell apart.
