The roses have grown quiet in their delight
Daylilies are shooting up spikes with buds

My  blue terraced pot is alive this year,
Growing basil, chives, oregano and sage.
It sits on my patio in the filtered sun,
Ready for creative culinary inspiration......
              Maybe after I finish this glass of wine....

Rosemary Thyme fell in love with
a spicy character who was Sweet Basil.
Her parents didn't Extractly like him, 
because he Peppered them with Salty 
words. So they would meet secretly.
One day however, she Cinnamon Cumin.
Her Poppyseed her, Anise he mad!! 
To keep them apart, he put her on 
the overland Sage bound for Oregano....

skies partly cloudy
rain sometimes, lightning, june’s sog….
bee balm’s blooms explode

old fashioned canas
called bird of paradise blooms….
lemon daylilies

fern laced fennel’s gold

rain lilies’ blossoms

Peppered passions poetic pistachios 
Onions fashioned like sonnets season soul
Eggs elevated eccentric embraces
Timeless haiku like wonton soup with sages
Racing red romantic bean ballard 
Yellow limericks of potato salad 

Salty somber sayings sweetly sly tribute 
Oregano onomatopoeia monotone lines of truth
Universal utterances of sensual Senryu 
Paprika topping the cheesy poetry soup...

Mnt and sage
Refreshing infusions through the age,
Rosemary an evergreen
Chive th smallest onion see;
Basil for ice cream & sweets
Fresh Majoram for that special treat;
Bay leaves heighten any stew
Coriander for curry too!
Oregano in tomato rescipes
Lemon balm annoints the breeze;
No wood above the ground
In these plants can be found;
Neither a shrub ,nor tree
In our gardens ,growing free....

Well, It Ought to Be A Marathon, that Brings Me
Up to Speed!

A Bumping and a Running, Kind of Gliding that's
The Key.

My Luck is all the Better if I Check, and you do See.

Don't Forget the Oregano, Though I've Got A Ways to 
Go, All the Something Extra I will Need.

Been a Bumping and A Gliding On this Marathon
Reminding, 

Your God's Special Flavor Born to Me!...

Glittering like d sun, 
 Sight blue like d moon, 
 Enamels pure as diamond, 
 Smile resembling snow. 

Filled with aura of confidence, 
 Soo quixotic as u are, 
 With ochres adorning ur soul, 
 Oregano blows 2ru ur paths. 

Soft hearted, 
 But strong in spirit, 
 Never to quit and always challenging, 
 Hopin 2 get evry desire. 

Stylish in fashion, 
 Always moving with trend, 
 Blazing d commentaries, 
 With tenderly look. 

You are
 Truly 
 Phosphorescent....

I was in pain, but I have ignored it
Feeling excited on this fresh new virgin day.
I could use my eyes and draw out a canvas
study a tree, watch butterflies, enjoy that puffy cloud.

I could use my voice 
Say hello to a stranger
Make elaborate wolf howls

I could use my nose
Smell the meatballs cooking
Enjoy the whiff of oregano
follow the fragrance of parmesan 

or I could sit here
loving the day
enjoying the patio of this Italian restaurant
not caring that I cannot whistle...

The French expression is exquisite, 
fat succulent globes glowing darkly,
but if you're looking for length look  
to the East, although they lack girth.
Yet the Greeks do it best
sleek glossy orbs, rubbed with
olive oil then laid in their bed and 
immersed in an effusion of 
ripe succulent Roma slowly 
simmered with garlic, oregano  
and perhaps a few chilies, if you like it
hot and then covered with a thick 
white sauce béchamel and lasciviously 
savoured with a mature rich red....
