Witch Hazel

There once was a witch named Hazel
Mistook poison oak for sweet basil
She finally conceded
New glasses, she needed,
For Halloween spells reappraisal

Green Plants

sun shines from above
to synthesize chlorophyll ...
green peas appear

my meal full of them
like herbivores and insects ...
sweet basil flavored

green snake hides
between the grass and creepers ...
bush rat approaches

A Seasoned Song

rose,oh rosemary
sweet aroma to me,
fragrant,my thyme with thee;
lovely lemon balm
ope'd hand is my palm,
mark! love's finger print,
indelibl'd with mint;
hold sweet basil at bay,
hark! these sage words I say
my evening primrose,
see my ardour grows
aside the mistletoe.

Such is this feverfew
in my lovage for you

A Spicy Love

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.

The Ripe Olives and Red Wines of Florence

Listen to poem:
The Ripe Olives and Red Wines of Florence
David J Walker 

Austere is the way I remember 
The convent in Florence
 
Perfectly white walls 
And the small single bed fronted
 
By worn floors from daily 
kneeling in prayer

A simple soup 
will be served
At supper 

My native guide says 
Possiamo fare di meglio in città

Either way there will be 
Ripe olives and red wine served with

Artisan bread dipped in garlic 
Sweet basil and virgin olive oil

Garden

I love farms and planting. We love green foliage. My small garden have grown. Taking care and work on it make me happy. I often water it. I really appreciated that several times of smooth rain in the last month. I like its followers. Today I saw Moringa, five years old. I looked at for a while. How beautiful is that  white cute flowers! in an unexpectedly lucky way.  The aroma of basil  and green mint bless my soul.

My Room

I confide my self in a room
Large windows opening  to a  garden
Smell of honey suckles mixed with lavender and sweet basil
Venus  fountain drips  as birth  sings  winds dancing in leaves
The only wish I made a sound of my music to be a picture perfect

I confide myself in a happy loneliness nevertheless
Speak to every creature as my friend as we’d first met
Still feel incomplete till moon is full as seen in  window
Move to a another room with larger window overlooking many gardens
