gorgeous African violets
pink, periwinkle, and the deepest purple
yellow centers and dainty dark green veined flowers
we were in awe of Edna, for none of us could grow them...

There once was a cougar named Rose

who kept the young men on their toes.

Working in her garden

they'd say "beg your pardon

I'll bet you could use a good hose!"

With green fingers the gardener worked
Hence the garden thrived and perked,
Ironically when blueberries collected 
Thumbs were stained from fruit selected.

with tender hands and a green thumb
you plant the many seeds of love
fertilizing the rich black soil
an act of love at which you toil

putting my heart in indirect sun
watering daily what we've begun
from deep inside it begins to bloom
a fragrant flower with deep, deep roots...

The house down the street is under wraps
With hazard suits milling in its flaps

The one with the garden most luscious
Now being trampled beneath all the ruckus

The lady with the green thumb it's suggested
Has been by her Venus Fly Trap ingested

peonies bring back memories of my mum

her flower patch and gifted green thumb

from merely one fragrant bloom

its scent filled the room

imbuing

sweet

fragrances
 
to each fresh bouquet

she’d proudly put on display

on seeing one, there’s but one outcome,

peonies bring back memories of my mum...

Poetic Gardener

Poet 
like a
gardener,
his pen is the 
hoe
*
* *
*
His
golden 
green thumb writes
such beautiful
poems
*
* *
A
master
with words that
make all flowers
bloom
*
* *
*
The
air is
a summer’s
song with poetic
love
*
* *
*
A
garden
that’s planted
with words from his
heart

Green is spring's renewal and rebirth.
The indication that things will bloom. 
The love of a gardener with a green thumb,
Or green envy for those with brown who think
Grass is always greener on the other side.

Green is the combination of yellow and blue.
It's the color of inspiration and growth.
If I keep a four-leaf clover in my heart
Will the spring songbirds sing?...

 Color me
blue bliss and orange
morning smiles;
its green births
in a many colored field;
flowers bloom.

My green thumb
re-seeding the ground
blue blossoms,
day lilies
of orange I must dead-head,
await me.

Nature’s way,
beauty in blossoms;
nutrient rich
nectar sipped
by tiny brown honey bees, 
sweetest dew.

Mother nature is wonderful, it will cause my new tree to grow delicious plums.
I enjoy planting fruit trees, I guess that I have a green thumb.
I now have four kinds of fruit trees, apple, pear, plum and peach.
When it comes to my trees, I expect to get tasty fruit from each.
All my trees need are water and sunlight to provide heat.
When my trees bear fruit, I will have plenty to eat....

Listen to poem:

Who knew you were so mechanically incline
My cardiac specialist, you fixed the broken in mine
Who knew you possessed such a green thumb
Growing feelings in a salted heart that was numb
Who knew you could build something out of nothing
Filling the void, the abyss, the hole with your everything
Who knew you could be a blanket wrapping me
Without disillusion, with you, I am who I want to be...

a merger of all that we have found 
a mixing together making our love sound 
so much better than being alone 
a passionate blending makes this my home 

you asked if I am sad today 
leaving what was yesterday 
all that’s being left behind 
a structure from another time 

we build together a future chance 
sealing tightly this romance 
your green thumb that makes me bloom 
the circle starts and ends with you...

Crepe myrtles are not supposed to grow in Kansas but in my gardens they flourish thanks to my green thumb and lots of love and communication.  I appreciate them and they thrive, feeling cherished.





                                                     gorgeous bobbing heads
                                               lovely sea of crepe myrtles
                                                       delights grasshopper...

nebuchadnezzar lie down
  your hanging gardens all around.

  nebuchadnezzar  can i buy some seeds?
  my backyard is full of weeds.

  nebuchadnezzar your dreaming to long,
  now my yard has grown into babylon.


  nebu chad nezzar... 
  
 lve heard that you have a green thumb,
 for the flower and the bee succumb.

 nebuchadnezzar your worried head
  has no roots now your dead.

  nebuchadnezzar planted in the ground
  still forever without a sound....

Oh tiny tomatoes
I love you so!
I never thought 
I'd ever grow
Enough to even
Make a salad
But there's a few
To inspire this ballad
The planting season
Is nearly passed
It seemed to come
And go so fast
I don't have much
Of a bumper crop
My plants they sway
They droop and drop
But there's enough
To make me proud
Don't have a green thumb
For crying out loud!
My neighbors do
They're country bumpkins
Perhaps I'll try
My luck with pumpkins...

mint
a green thumb
the green-eyed monster
as sure as God’s green apples
they gave my plan a green light
green around the gills
a green back
jade

teal
village green
golf course - putting green
the hanging of Christmas greens
a sergeant wears his dress greens
why does brass turn green?
turnip greens
lime

moss
green bananas
greenhorns are naive
greenware has not yet been fired
what is the greenhouse effect?
he lost his green card
greengrocers

Avian life of mine
Blooms with wishes divine

Candle - one more added
Days with joy - so padded

Eid too joins the party
Full moon blesses us - hearty

Grandeur unveils autumn
Hard rock shows us green thumb

Iambic feet of three
Joins to form poetry

Kingly gest of season
Lets love play in vision

Moments lived with pleasure
Narrate hidden treasure

Opulent love from you
Plethora brought anew

(C) Anindya Mohan Tagore (Bobby)

Faded colors
Wilt and willow 
Petals drift down
People tread
The petals dead 
The world is spinning ‘round
And I turn towards the sun
And feel its warmth upon my face 
And I stand up straight and tall
My colors radiant in grace 
And I cared for by green thumb
And the soil fertile and new
I wake myself to the rising sun
And a sky that’s bright and blue 
Clouds drifting far from my mind 
And a subtle breeze blowing by 
I am picked by green thumb
I knew for my beauty, I must die....
