Seed

From a old garden caretaker, seeking to inseminate the word
I try to teach, mold, and shape, so my thoughts can be heard

As I feel, see and listen, hoping to learn, grasp, and take-in
and then empower, those words chosen, to flow thru my pen

Hoping that others read, or maybe they will even transplant
Using these thoughts, in their garden, to start a poem or rant

In this way, all gardens flourish, as long as the words flow
from a garden, to thoughts, thru pens, that men can hoe
