My Garden Will Need ''Rain''

My garden will need love and lots of rain, I am starting seedlings on window sills; there will be flowers and things like romaine, when I see a leaf rise it gives me thrills. I imagine it growing up with frills, all my plants will get loads of rain and sun; I can tell you the work is never done, as growing becomes this wild obsession. It needs constant attention once begun- rain helping this artistic expression ! __________________________ March 22, 2020 Poetry/Dizain/My Garden Will Need ''Rain'' Copyright Protected, ID 20-1238-239-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, Delightful Dizains sponsor, Beth Evans Second Place

John, thanks for visiting, my mother was the gardener, she attempted to teach me about flowers, etc, and I guess some of it struck, there is an awe to see a seed I planted become a plant, cannot wait till I can plant them outside, thanks for the congrats _ Constance

I grew a peach tree from a pit in peat moss on my window cil and the peaches - the size of a grapefruit - were well worth the effort! So that is something everyone can do whilst in quarantine. Good luck with the reminder! Aloha! Rico
