Mistook poison oak for sweet basil
She finally conceded
New glasses, she needed,
For Halloween spells reappraisal...

Green Plants
sun shines from above
to synthesize chlorophyll ...
green peas appear

my meal full of them
like herbivores and insects ...
sweet basil flavored

green snake hides
between the grass and creepers ...
bush rat approaches

A SEASONED SONG
rose,oh rosemary
sweet aroma to me,
fragrant,my thyme with thee;
lovely lemon balm

my evening primrose,
see my ardour grows
aside the mistletoe.
Such is this feverfew
in my lovage for you

Listen to...

Premium Member Mulberries and Monarchs
Each year I plant an herbal garden 
very near a stand of mulberry trees
and every Spring when they're in bloom
they attract butterflies and honey bees.

This morning, as I tended the sweet basil,
a young Monarch landed close to my hand.
Then, a cloud of them swirled around...

Migrations
an open window 
and a shout of girls with blossom sweet basil in the hair 
over 
the salmonoids rummage 
the depth of the rivers 
the springs want to find

in the darkness of an idea

Sweet tooth such a happy mouth vibrato to have;
Healthy sweet corn with sweet pepper...

I confide my self in a room
Large windows opening  to a  garden
Smell of honey suckles mixed with lavender and sweet basil
Venus  fountain drips  as birth  sings  winds dancing in leaves
The only wish I made a sound of my music...
