Taking Up Planting
For my son and his kids, it’s tomatoes,
The cherry-type, planted from seed,
While my friend on the upper west side filled some pots
With more herbs than she ever will need.
A dear friend who resides near the ocean
Has her terrace with plantings a‘brim
And another has switched from her flowers
To some veggies she’ll soon have to trim.
My kid sister’s restarted her garden;
Iguanas, though, sneak in to steal
And my sister-in-law, once there’s no chance of frost,
By her plot in the yard will soon kneel.
Many lately have taken up planting
Since we’re home now with nothing but time
But I’m planted here in my apartment,
Where I tend to and nurture my rhyme.
