Hi Darlene, I love your short poem. Alas I am not writing much lately. I must rest for at least seven days. I'm weak and have a bad throat. Please excuse me for notwriting. You will be in my thoughts. Blessings.

True! At least for my houseplant. It had been doing great for years, and then I left for 4 days, and put it in a place outside that hardly got any sun, because I closed my blinds. I thought it would need some light. Then, when I came back., all the leaves were brown!

You are PoetrySoup Darlene. We liked how you captured that quiet moment of plants chilling in the shade, simple but cool, like a little secret garden vibe on a hot, humid day.
