the primroses
begin to lose their smell.
the Honeysuckle
is sweet, sweet, prominent and strong.

Waiting for this season, that one, the next
Each brings with and leaves behind
harvest desires.

In the winter, I do not want tomatos,
I crave kale and leeks and roots.
And in summers long, warm hours
We eat directly from the earth.

rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
wind, cold, rain, rain, rain, wind, cold
I'm so glad it's spring

Sandra,
This group is a place where we can post our own original garden poetry; but perhaps we can also share the occassional poem of the poetry masters - for inspiration, for guidance, and for the sheer beauty of the masterful way in which they wove their words together to paint pictures that still can move us today.

And, is it okay if we break it up into 4 discussion categories of seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter? That would make it easier for folks to find the kind of poetry they're looking for, don't you think?

Please let me know your opinion. Thanks. mwf

IT's May!!!!

Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!
It's May! It's May!
That gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad
Will be a cad!
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!

Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?
Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la!

I guess I'll have to dust off my album and bring out my work. I tend to be inspired by the fall and winter though, not spring. I'll see what I can contribute. Thanks for the invitation to join.

Hi Sandra, great idea to have this group. I shall post my poem when I have more time.
