Things That Grow

I am not a poet or a master of prose. I am a just a man who likes to write About anything that grows. Like flowers that bloom at first light All lined up in tiny little rows Beautiful petals at a perfect height To be seen in the shadows. The essence of man and his plight To grow up to be a normal Joe Lives in the day and sleeps at night Waiting for love and ability to sow The fates of the two are the last rite Pray for all things that grow Before they reach the afterlife Duane LaChance Sr. 2012

I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Duane. I am reading today and hoping to find some inspiration to write. I had a run a week or so ago and now it wimped out on me. Thank you for posting your poetry and sharing it with others. Love, Carol
