Small Space


Small Space

Space is tight in the small garden
Planted on the small terrace
Along the side careless
Climbing beans
Easily grow

Space is limited in sections small
Plants in pots along the rail
Alternating seating well
Carrots seeded
Earthen stow

Space is reduced for entertaining
Partial am I to fresh produce
Alterations seem obtuse
Cuisine freshness
Efforts show

Lots of crunch in this Debra; maybe you love veggies as much as I do. I think it's a great entry for the contest and wish you much luck! Lizzie

Love this one. We had a patio in a town house. Tried to grow veggies, but only made a lair for a bird catching cat. Thanks for reading my stuff. Love, daver

I like how you explore physical space in your poem and it is also accentuated by the actual physical shape of the words themselves.
