Short Grower Poems

State of Hawaii,
sole coffee grower, only
State with a palace.

Brilliant red roses
  across the way
lit up by the sun
  make my day

I've thanked the grower
  many a time
I've yet to thank God
  ~ a grievous crime...

Big Potato..for limerick contest
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

Old Joe the potato grower
Was beside himself in sorrow
For down at his boots
Was a hole so darn deep
His potato’s now resided in China...

An Inupiat "slow-grower"
Believed he could sink no lower
When an icicle rose
On the tip of his nose
He won "Number 1 Snow Blower"

 * * * * 

A cold polar bear did stutter
And folk thought he was a nutter
But God loved him a bunch
And dropped off his lunch
With buckets of peanut butter....

Gemini seeks a new job daily

In summer she might be a disc jockey or a landscaper
In winter possibly a substitute teacher or a nurse.
Fall is for growing pumpkins, so she becomes a grower.
Spring is for releasing dogs from pens, so you will find her 
at the animal shelter.

If you cannot amuse her, 
confuse her or bamboozle her,
you will not keep her long.

I perceive in another
A true soul brother
As Mirror on the shelf
Reflecting true self;

If someone I despise
I fail in my surmise
What mirrors reflect
I must openly respect.

Any maxim is cheap-
Beauty is skin deep!
Not periphery or hide,
True brother is inside.

Tribute to one flower
Is insult to the Grower,
Embellishing dolour
BY myriad of a colour.

Would I then to judge
By colour of smudge-
Or to balance on scales
The tint of his scales?!...

MAD MARCH HARES 
~~~~~~~
leverets'
first year
hiding
in meadows
very long pointed ears
frolicking fun
growing
mad March
hares 

DAFFODILS
~~~~~~~~

bulbs
patiently waiting
hoping
to feel
the warmth of spring
at last
winter 
lets go
daffodils
~~~~~~~~

SUNFLOWERS
~~~~~~~~

seedling
very lucky
germinated
rapid grower
when mature follows Sol
most seeds
feed 
the birds
sunflowers
~~~~~~
