winters worth of collections 
seasoned the grass well...

Aroma of a summer's dawn
  Perfect time to mow the lawn

'Til she smelled the fertilizer
  ~ Now she's on a tranquilizer...

Looking so stunted
Adding a fertilizer
Greenish it grows tall

Cows lean without it
Having been grazed on grasses
They look beautiful

A single rose that was withered by
Lack of fertilizer to bloom
Until the loving white rose 
Recovered the nurture
Provided by the
New gardener
With his care
Giving
Love...

Skydiving is good to the very last drop
For a second parachute, I'd definitely opt
You'll need a nurse
Crashing to the earth
Or wind up as fertilizer for next spring's crop...

Mix the sand and mulch
add aeration and fertilizer
Dig a small hole drop in a seed and water
Hopefully it will grow
Into the beauty I desire
Time patience and lots of water
Makes the plants grow tall and strong...

Send us your tired, your weary ~

your "udder" masses yearning to drink milk ~

the wretched refuse of your fertilizer stores ~

Send these ~ the tired, worn out, sagging corn ~

I lift my lamp . . . above the Aquifer's moor!!!...

Tripping 
down
the 
wind
pipe
of 
the 
ananomy
of 
a
snake
that
travels
in
ribbons
and
over
the 
rocks
and
branches
and
in
dark
and
scarry
places
that
always
end
in
fertilizer
for
flowers
and 
grass....

The North American People
Lived in a natural way.
Their wastes were all compostables;
Would return to the earth one day.

Fish fertilizer fed their crops,
No additives in their food.
Nature was pharmacy, grocer and home.
And living was healthy  and good....

My friend farmer Shane has perfected new breeds
His corn and soybeans he's planted from seeds,
An early morning riser,
Using no fertilizer,
He spends most of his spare time pulling weeds. 

Written August 3, 2022

more or less to "Ally Oop"


I like to take a dump in my mommy's back yard
(Take a dump. Take a dump.)
Sometimes it's soft, sometimes it's hard
(Take a dump. Take a dump.)
The one thing that's invariably true
(Take a dump. Take a dump.)
The best fertilizer is my poo!...

Words Can Nourish Or Destroy

                                                    flowers of glamour
                                        water, fertilizer, bloom with colors
                                             poison, they're gone forever

A little old lady named Judy,
Hired a yard man 'cause he was a cutie.
Soon weeds they were thriving, plants barely surviving,
'Cause he didn't know pansies from patooties.

The yard man had to say Bye Bye,
'Cause he mixed fertilizer with soap lye.
He burned up the yard, she booted him hard,
And he ran out the gate on the fly....

wounds tear all time

                        

                         ***


  
          time heels like a good dog
                    
                     or it bites




                         ***

                          is

                      fertilizer...

Thirty-one flavors has Ms. Baskins
    Sparrows, bluebirds, and Ms. Robbins

  All the other beak-heads have twenty-eight
    except for pigeons ~ Ewwwwwwww*

Malawians are feeling the pain 
Interest rates at banks jigged to 40%. 
Cost of living demands a lot to survive 
Our salary tranquil 
Robbers terrorizing us 
Wives spending time at water holes
 Instead of caring families
Subsidy is sand 
Instead of fertilizer
Pay in toilets charging exorbitantly
Just for a visit.
These are worthy going on streets...

coffee best describes
papa joe's essence for me
coffee kisses- YES

fertilizer stink
paternal grandaddy smell
famous tomatoes

noxzema only 
for miss toby before bed
shakey hands slicked up

but then grandmama
whew! peach cobbler first of all
sweet corn, pot roast, ham

oh man, those fried pies
blackberry and peach goodness
beautiful mem'ry...

Leaves now fallen to the ground
They used to be green, now they're not...
There were shadows in the cups,
now they are not...
Now dry and piled up
are nothing else than fertilizer
to earth...
That's how we are...
ex beauty, ex vigor
now we must realize
another thing to serve...
we must comprehend
there is time to arrive
and time to depart...
natural law of life,
Lord  Heavenly Law...

I am a seed which
From you germinated
And you a place
Where I was sown
Grew and firmly rooted

I am a flower which 
From you sprouted
Grew well in the comfort
Of your cosy arms
Which like sepals
to petals 
In a flower wrapped
Me with tenderness

Your love was
A fertilizer for my growth
Food for my hunger
My warmth in coldness
It was Like water,
Air and sunlight
To a germinating seed...

The ivy plant, green and bold hugging the
Iron gate

             Guards the dwellers within 
Unaware tho they might be

The midnight visitor, well acquainted with 
Ivy

Deposits fresh fertilizer as the luxurious 
Leaves, intricately intertwined 

Provide purposeful seclusion for Ivy's friend
Unseen by the horrific, harassing 

Talon-fanged 

Great Horned Owl

A good and faithful friend, Ivy

THE MUSE GETS SASSY

Out of words and thoughts 
The poet screams “When, Muse, when?” 
Muse yells: “Think, fool, think!”


SIMPLE SEEDS

The poet’s words are 
Simple seeds searching the mind
For fertilizer


HAIKU WORLD

Hiding in the words
Are subtle, salient meanings
In the haiku world		


THE EFFECT OF CAGES ON BIRDS

Cages confound birds 
Though cages are beautiful 
They can kill the song...

False pride is ego-independent pride.
You no more made yoursellf
than you can unmake yourself
independently of others.

False wealth is ego-independent pathology.
It will no more contribute to your well-being
than your well-being could ever harm you,
interdependently healthy with others.

To paraphrase Dolly,
in "Hello Dolly":
Money and health are like fertilizer.
They work most resiliently
when spread around....

I see fewer Gnomes
A variety of “flags”
Signs and placards
Letting me know
“whose lives matter”
There are a lot of “bunnies”
As they offend no one
My “lawn” has not seen fertilizer
In thirty years
It resembles a wild maned lion
The last “Madonna of the bath tub” shrine
Was removed by the new owners.
There are “cardboard” coyote’s
To keep the Geese and Turkeys away
A Buddha sits undisturbed
In a moonlit garden...

Sooner or later hope needs to grow a pair of wings
fly into action- turn into something substantial
or like the Dodo bird it will become extinct.
At the same time hope needs to grow a pair of balls
in the face of a hurricane of slurs and lies...stand tall.
Sometimes when the balls are heavier than the wings
hope becomes chained to rage and can never rise above the fire 
no matter the amount of verbal fertilizer you sprinkle over it....

I brought a seed
a capital of life
from the creator
when i was sent into this earth

with
a message
“hold tightly and maintain”

when come it’s time
plant it
fertilizer it
and guard it
let it grow naturally

give the name
a seed of Love

plant it in all places
therefore
it does not extinct
and keep it grow and thrive

let the seed of love
grow hereditary
teach your descendant
to maintain
the seed of Love
