Garden

In my garden

you are kneeling

among roses and tulips,

deft hands quick

as roosters snipping

petunias.

In your garden

you are grinning

berry-stained

and tickled pink

as a snapdragon.

In your garden

you are humming

captive as a bee

coaxing begonia

buds to bloom.

In your garden

you are the flower

of my heart.

      The Lost Days

We are casualties

of the season,

like onions and potatoes

sequestered in the damp

cellar recesses.

Instead of kisses

we sniffle at each other

and sit confined 

to a cough and a sneeze, lethargic

as cats.  Projects

sit dormant

and scattered

’til Spring.

Monday Poetry

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mondays are a good day for opening the week like a gift. Something to unwrap and enjoy like an eclair or a cinnamon roll. Since I don’t bake, I’d have to go out to the Amish Bakery to get you one of those . Not, so a poem will have to do. You can swallow it whole or chew on it.
