Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Two Bags of Seed

When I was born
I came equipped
With two million seeds

Not warm enough
Nor moist enough
Or too many weeds

The sun not out
The soil not rich
Or nothing that one needs

I base my stance
On abortion rights
On the reality of seeds

Connie Marcum Wong March 20, 2017 at 4:17 AM Sometimes when people have a near-death experience they meet a brother or sister who died in infancy or was aborted. When they are revived they relate this to their parents with much emotion. Now that is something to ponder. 7 ; ) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 20, 2017 at 6:34 AM Indeed. Intriguing. I know I have a half sister out there somewhere, who was put up for adoption; he sowed a few oats. Thank you for the visit & Happy Spring! :) mo
