I will be a faithful gardener,
beneath a brilliant sun.
My garden will be unique,
spreading beauty and joy to everyone.
I'll scatter seeds of positivity.
Encourage delicate foliage to grow.
Strong roots will be anchors, flexible stems
unbroken, although the wind blows.
I will tend my garden, with kindness,
patiently wait for next years bloom.
Every color of the rainbow is present.
In my nurtured garden, there is ample room.
01/2021 For my young friend, Cobo

Cobo and Nala are two different breeds,
they have fun doing those naughty deeds,
wresting and rolling on clean bed sheets,
jumping on the kitchen table to eat beets,
sweet dog cookie bones are their treats!

The crime scene was Cobo Hall
where I attended the annual show;
minding my business, dressed in a suit,
flirtatious NOT at the car expo.
A beautiful orchid centerpiece
oozed pollen o’er table and chair,
while across from me a salesman sat,
an accomplis in the affair.
He distracted me from the temptress
as her rouge lathered my hand.
I tried to wipe it clean
but the mess did only expand.
That night I checked into Motel Six
where I noticed all were staring.
The bathroom mirror did solve the crime
and showed me I was wearing
orchid pollen on cheeks and brow,
orange streaks from the sick cabal,
for today I’d been seduced
by a fetching femme fatale.
