Premium Member Magic Water

 
today was so hot and my flowers are wilted now I rush quickly for the watering can pouring cool water over each and like magic they raise their heads

This Land of Mine

This land of Mine 

I have lived here for twenty years, olive trees 
and brown, rugged rocks are my best friends. 

 Watering can and flowers in my garden, yet 
the locals still refer to me as O Estrangero.
Form: Couplet

An Empty Moon Over a Suburban Sky

a filtered light strained and old
that hangs over us man crawlers
we are loaded with slow blood
we jaw-jaw under evening circles

empty as a watering can in august
up and up the garden, down down
we hammer the green into squares
as we think we may, foolish with dust

Wisdom's Tree

Fruitions seed is larger still,
get out your watering can

Fifty past one hundred years,
to shade what light began

Wisdom’s tree the hardest wood,
 millennium to rise

Truth ingrained, its bark unstained
—transcendence once denied 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

Premium Member The Hornet

There once was a hornet who tried To build a strange straw nest inside As soon as grass was cut He'd bring to his little hut To spruce up, but on water he rides
He tried to build his nest inside the curved spout of my plastic watering can. The first time I tried to use it after he started building, I got a shock when he flew out.

Premium Member Spring Seen From My Porch

watering can full of fresh spring water
multicolored chickadee with a pretty song
spider keeping out of reach 
bright yellow daffodils with ruffled necks 
a fluffy eager bunny with the fluffiest tail
gorgeous purple and white African violets 
polka dotted ribbons around gardening pots
a simple monarch butterfly with her eye on the prize 
snores of a happy bumble bee
spring is around the corner
Form: Imagism

Throwing Dice

the screen door closes with a rattle
like a man trying to throw Yahtzee
despite the odds

shortly after, the familiar footfall of my father
calling ‘Baba boy, baba boy’ to me on the porch

I life my mug in reply, filled with hot coffee,
he fills the watering can with cold water

a low breeze rustles the fronds of a palm tree
father pours water on transplanted roots. it grows here
despite the odds

Premium Member Half Angel

We were very close but never quite hooked up.
I think my approach was a bit too rough.
A little to honest for your fantasy...puff.
But the truth is I couldn't handle the wild swings.
The     split     personality.
 
What a man needs at the end of the day
is a steady stream of steady.
A half angel Wielding a watering can.
When the world turns to cold-hell fire.

I do hope that he's treating you well.

Premium Member Who's in the Garden?

Listen to poem:
Who's in the Garden?
Me, said the little girl, watering can in hand.
Who's in the Garden?
Me, said the kitty cat, licking its paws.
Who's in the Garden?
Me said the puppy dog, wagging its tail.
Who's in the Garden?
Me, said the snail, with poppy eyes on stalks.
Who's in the Garden?
Me, said the wee bird, twitting a tale.
Let's all join in!
Who do you want to be?
Who's in the Garden?
Who's in the Garden?

Premium Member The Young Gardener

She is learning young
Pure genteel pleasures of a garden
Amid the fragrant roses and towering lupines
Sweet feminine echo of her beautiful mother
She holds up her watering can
A tiny version of the other.

Now she mimics to perfection
The sprinkling of flowers 
As she giggles with delight
At birds in secret bowers.

She can't wait for tomorrow
Her duties to employ
She is mother's little helper
And Daddy's little joy
Form: Verse

Her Garden

From wide garden beds little faces rose
To behold my mother’s face.
They knew from where their water came,
So gave to her their beauty and grace.

Though rocks and sand had been her plight,
Before wide rich black waxy loam,
Nothing stopped her loving hands,
Her garden was her home.

Somewhere in heaven is a greenhouse,
With a lushness ne'er here seen,
As mother with her watering can,
Humms amid blossoms’ colors and greens.

Premium Member The Tantrum

Old man wind pulled back the ocean waters and funneled them into his watering can; sprinkled them across the state; over-watering every garden in sight. A flood, six inches of water invaded my basement; a three inch wading hole in the street and a fortune in appliances and furniture was lost. Afterwards he painted a rainbow in a cloudy sky and started over again. His tantrum lasted for two weeks.

Premium Member The Summer of '24

Summer is ochre glass glowing
rainbow lawn chairs stretching out
fireworks are already blowing
fireflies are flashing about.

Black roses are once again parched
the weeds never seem to mind
that peace has turned into a watering can 
with rusted-out holes in its side.  
 
Vampire Iran is sniffing out Israeli veins
Xi buzzards are circling the lotus Taiwan
Putin is feeding on the flesh of Ukraine 
Nuclear wizards are waving their wands.

Premium Member A Cockcrow In Lace

the sunspots ensconced behind howdy-do curtains a cockcrow in lace white watering can french blue white sprouts of ivy deep green unhackneyed eggs bright brown the pale yellow sun flickers snow and no one wears silk nightgowns as knees fall, and wrinkles like weeds are read on the backside of palms that hurry the yolks and sizzle the bacon, pour coffee into old cups one for the geezer who grumps but puckers up for his buttercup

Inside This Journal

Inside this journal
Secrets that have never been told
Never been shared
Never been spoken

Inside this journal 
Years of memories
Living alone
Growing old
Waiting to be read

They are not to lonely
For they have each other
They share their stories with one another
Reminding each other of all the good times

Finally, the old journal is opened
Pouring out its secrets like water in a watering can
Then it is closed once again
Wanting to be opened another time

The Bottom of the Bed

Our beds are often made of a tree, 
spiritual creativity we carve for a peaceful sleep .

I once woke up and found a fire at the bottom of me feet; 
I looked and watched for a while and thought it were a dream 
I jumped up pretty quickly 
to a nightmare it did seem;

I Ran to the kitchen looking for a Tin pan 
I found me self a ready made filled up 
watering can..

I Got to the TV and managed to turn it off;  
I began watering me plants 
Before the leafs dropped off.
