Kim Rodrigues Poet Haiku

Shovel

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in,
tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like
tidying up the garden afterwards.  Jamaica Kincaid

                  ***

               shovel
near blue hydrangea bush -
               latter rain

Paul Callus June 29, 2020 at 7:36 AM Hi Kim...like your husband I find gardening very satisfying; I'm able to work for hours without saying a word except to nature...they are moments when lots of poetic ideas come to mind. ~ Regards // paul Kim Rodrigues June 29, 2020 at 6:43 PM So true that is! Every time I take a walk the ideas pour out!

Andrea Dietrich June 27, 2020 at 4:06 PM You are very different from me in what you like. I appreciate your artistic nature with gardening, Kim! Kim Rodrigues June 27, 2020 at 4:50 PM LOL...my husband left the shovel near the hole he dug. I have no gardening skills

Jennifer Proxenos June 27, 2020 at 11:10 AM Something like making a wonderful candle lit dinner, but then you have to clear up the mess! I do understand. Hugs, Jennifer. Kim Rodrigues June 27, 2020 at 11:18 AM Right! :)

Martin Braun June 26, 2020 at 3:35 PM The way of the hydrangea ... Very nice... I think of this song every time I take care of my hydrangeas and feed the iron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9lz_yzrGZw Kim Rodrigues June 26, 2020 at 5:35 PM Awesome!

Michelle Faulkner June 26, 2020 at 11:50 AM Yes, to shovel moist soil and plant a flower is so satisfying, isn't it? Kim Rodrigues June 26, 2020 at 1:16 PM My sweet husband does the planting :)
