Healing Herbs

It's not the herbal
That grows over the sea,
Behind the mountain,
But the herb that grows
With you in the same yard
The plants that hermit found
Unnoticed, overgrown weeds
Of plantains, onions, or bulb forms
That matter most for healing
Of body, soul and thoughts.

Tansy

My cathartic heart
threw away the finished leaves of bitter autumn's burning
I brewed myself a loving cup, made sweeter by my learning
tansy, bay with chamomile, bright meadow flowers to sip
tastes better far than poison to be found upon your lip

Herbing

Enjoy a lively walk among stinging nettles in spring. 
Skip along and listen to your heart sing. 
Dash through fields of dandelions in summer,  
Feel the vibrant energy of the finest gossamer. 

Get comfy with Tulsi in the fall,  
Boost your immune system before flu season calls. 
Bunker down with burdock in winter,

Bitter Herbs

Can we cease from shouting at each other?
Can we relearn the ability to respect?
Can we not have a discussion with dignity?
Can we sit at the table of brotherhood and talk?

Can we not listen and evaluate the opinions of others?
In the public arena, especially politics and religion,
our present seeds of speech will only grow bitter herbs.

Hundred Proverbs Advertize Herbs

To the public the man shows herbs
For Advert hundreds of proverbs
"Your worries and mine wisdom curbs!"
Lots of Adjectives and Adverbs;
On roads blares, neither dumb on kerbs
Voice screaming hoarse near touring Serbs...

But the Old Seller of New Herbs
Settles for nothing short of blurbs,
The problems of voice pitched high curbs
And down brings number of proverbs...

"Buyers I see

I'm baked

The Faeries Are Still Outside

The Faeries Are Still Outside

Trying to cheer a garden up from the clay,
But the crabgrass won’t part
And the trees are snickering 
At the art-
Less way the faeries 
Sway while chanting,
Casting their spells—
Such an untalented group!  
Out of tune, with
Too often the lyric,
 “wha’ ta’ we all do?” 
Stuck in a measureless breath
And beyond any

Pretty Florals

a harvest for

Marvelous Herbs

"In all things of nature there is somethings of the marvelous."  Aristotle


Marvelous Herbs

Herbs -
Nature’s
Marvelous
Gift of flavor -
Brightens the blandness
Of the ordinary -
Savory gracing tasteless -
Zest to nondescript dreariness -
Herbal wonders – healing remedies –
Seasoning’s magic to flavorless salt.

Enviro Noah

Noah strove for enviro-protection.
Plants and beasts he saved section by section.
And now thanks to our brain
all that soon will remain
is a zoo and an herbal collection.

Herbal Sprinkles

Herbs are so very savory
Each has its own great flavor.
Racing to my garden eagerly,
Beyond the veggies I do favor,
A whole lot of aromatic things,
Like thyme, rosemary, even sage.

Some folks prefer their food quite 
Plain without taste or any fun;
Really though, that’s no delight
Instead away, I want to run.
No bland meals for my palate; 
Kindly add

The Wet Garden

In the wet garden this morning, I saw a teeny tiny woman made of leaves and herbs, with the orange bloom of a woodland poppy for a hat. When she realized I'd seen her, she hopped behind the slim stem of a trillium. When I bent down to get a better look at what the

Calabash of Herbs

The world is a calabash of herbs
Some are bitter and often abhorred
Few are sweet and always desirable
For either case there is no foretaste
