Short Gardened Poems

planted ferns today
also pulled weeds and gardened
my heart laughs today...

The world will oft her dreamers slay,
Those souls whose hearts breathe far away
From things beheld by common eye,
For gardened hearts seem first to die....

I gardened all day
so exhaustion would set in
It worked too, but fast....
Do I have time to post my poems on a website?
I doubt that I have the capability.
My eyes are barely keeping open.

I've gardened and read
I wrote poetry in my head
I picked up all the clippings
And everything red.

Time now to nap
And dream dreams far away
Of my true love
My one love
And a light house.......

Until she found something bad there hardened
A rattlesnake with raised fangs 
Eye to eye combat with gangs
Snake go to the woods for you are pardoned ...

i gardened naked one day
gentle misting rain

thinned out salad greens

My bliss found full at giants feet-
Enthralled, bewitched at Sky's orations
Or what forests deep did tell...
And now the Day's long-bearded trek
But to endless shade proceeds......
