Talk to me
of vineyards
pungent with 
basil and thyme,
of fireflies, 
shooting stars, 
and long hot
summer nights.
For winter
has gone on 
much too long....

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

My  blue terraced pot is alive this year,
Growing basil, chives, oregano and sage.
It sits on my patio in the filtered sun,
Ready for creative culinary inspiration......
              Maybe after I finish this glass of wine....

Under the holy basil, 
lighting the earthen lamp, 
whom do you invoke at dusk ?

*

A needle pricks your finger.
You smear the blood 
on your face.

*

It was the flame of forest 
which ignites the path, 
you wanted to tread on.

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

Grow garden
wild and free
neat and tidy rows
do not define thee.
Borage and cornflowers
feed my bees 
while butterflies 
rest in the parsley.  
Catnip for my feline friends 
next to my basil and thyme 
Ignore the weeds 
if you please
I think my garden is sublime

softly stirring their beds,
the gentle snore of calm.

the diffuser soothes the senses -
a grandma’s blend of lemon,
eucalyptus, peppermint, basil,
tea tree and rosemary.

allowing winsome dreams to croon
after the forgetful fit of coughing

Lemon oil and Breathe Easy do the trick!...
