Can’t Take Them All Home
one of the reasons
I love you
is how you apologized
to a dying plant
fifty percent off
at Lowe’s
like a rescue pet
that we couldn’t
take home

Love this. That was me you saw apologizing to the plant. Doesn’t everyone talk to plants?
Oh.
Yes. Poetry.
I love the different levels of care in this poem–its evident how layered it is.
Precious!
Simply lovely!!!
I don’t mind admitting I have cried over plants now and then, but they are alive, after all. Nice writing, Patrick.
