Laurentine, this is a very clever poem, well thought out. The persistence of plant life is amazing. I like that it's a dog carrying the seeds along, a poetic departure from the theme of birds transferring seeds.

Thanks MH - I tried far too hard with this poem :) I love that a dog in full joy mode is helping plants persist though :) thank you for your comment :)

Indeed, this is so - the resilience and opportunity-takers of the plant world that just keep on starting again - a lovely vignette :)
