Oleo of Poetry

glorious day calls
donning summer's broad-brimmed hat
for LOVE of sunshine

locate garden shoes
unworn since last november
garden work my FUN
laggard spring was late and cold
urgent..seeding must get done

dig them up and put them in
setting sets in ..seeding seeds
hoeing, raking, composting
POETRY alive


Won a 5th with this

Great use of the metaphor "seeds" as the inspiration for poetry, Joyce. Enjoyed thinking of you working in the garden as well. Best wishes in the contest, dear! Love, Carolyn
