Seedtime

Seedtime 
Sunny, showers  
Sowing, scattering, setting 
Shelter, shoots, hope, haul-in 
Hustling, heart-breaking, humbling  
Happy, handsome 
Harvest

Juliet Ligon May 20, 2021 at 9:29 AM Shh. Clever that you used "s" then blended into "h." I love the gardening theme. Makes me want to sow more seeds for a bigger harvest. Congratulations!

Maurice Rigoler April 26, 2021 at 4:49 AM There was a time I couldn't wait to get my hands in garden soil. But so were birds, bugs, woodchucks, rabbits, deer, and pilfering neighbors! Success in the contest. / Maurice L Milton Hankins April 26, 2021 at 9:42 AM Thanks so much, Maurice, I know what you mean. I used to love raising tulips...then the deer discovered the rich plate of tasty buds. I tried everything...then gave up! Others have better luck than I, so I enjoy theirs.

David Kavanagh April 25, 2021 at 2:22 PM Great Diamante Milton, you kept the shape well without compromising the integrity and relevance of the wording, jury’s still out, you might just be a machine after all, like the sponsor Caren, Best of luck in her contest cheers David L Milton Hankins April 25, 2021 at 2:29 PM Thanks, David. Well, at my age, there's nothing much else to do but crank them out! I love your comments. I look forward to reading your diamante, too.

Regina Mcintosh April 25, 2021 at 1:45 PM Wonderful write.. I don't know if I did it right, but did write one :) God bless you with a win. Love, Gina L Milton Hankins April 25, 2021 at 1:54 PM I'm sure you did okay, Regina. It's not terribly complicated. I just took mine up another notch with the alliteration. Thanks for your encouragement.
