From something old
Comes something new

Annually the garden
provides the results
of one’s labour--together

Here lies  a great Nun-sister Dabby ,
Labour for several days in June,
Dies after given birth to a baby ,
Rest in peace as you travel to the moon.

This one we all use to poop and pee
They ripen with time 
Grow and taste devine  
Poo-pee plums, humans scrump for their tea.

when other souls
are conceiving
in their dreams 
my breath 
gives birth 
at midnight

my soul
only knows 
to labour
to push

Taking a U-Turn

Born in giftedness of innate purview, 
Tending him like tender scion, is vital.
Send him to play, work isn't his battle.
Never let school, for him, be accidental,
Ergo, let's earn his souvenir from this review.
