Flowers, Ivy, and Weeds
I went out to the mailbox to get today's mail,
Mixed in with the same household bills and trivial
Junk mail, was a padded vanilla envelope,
With a China postmark. I don't recall, nope, nope,
Ordering anything from China. The pack looked
Quite mysteries and just begging to be opened.
A bag of seeds to my surprise. Weeds or flowers
Will not hurt, maybe herb, fruit, or shady bowers.
A garden filled with blooms. Oh, fragrance can consume.
What you are I wonder. So, I google, how to
Plant seeds. I followed the directions step-by-step,
Burying the seed. I watered and fertilized.
I went in the garden this morning, breathless with
Joy, seeds burst into huge flowers, ivy, and weeds.
