garden vs garden
some people plant their flowers
lined up like soldiers
all standing at attention
waiting for the call to be “at ease”
i prefer to scatter my seeds
and enjoy the surpise
as the blooms appear
wherever however they please

nice!
I read this as a metaphor for sex and reproduction because of the connotation of “spreading seeds”. Not sure if it’s what you were going for, but there is confidence in the poem either way!
I like the poem and the sentiment. Rows of flowers at attention make me uneasy!
Amanda, i really was going for the garden thing, but you i can see how you saw what you did!!
Mary, thank you, and i feel the same way.
