Suburban Garden Charm
Two yesterday.
Five today.
Mother Nature with balanced pH perfume
births them from her mineral-rich womb
kisses each plant with life and love
encourages growth.
Sunshine sends warm rays, bathes them in TLC
wraps each leaf and bloom in grace
develops colorful maturity.
Removal of pesky weeds offers space to breathe
frees each one to stretch out, to reach for the sky
promises a welcome retreat.
1000 tiny fairies fly down in raindrops, dewdrops
and touch each emerald green beauty with magic mist
giving them timely refreshment.
Godmother sits among the stars and
watches over all of them in moonlight
whispers prayers of sweet abundance and plenty.
These suburban zucchini plants flourish like a charm.
I expect a
dozen more tomorrow.

I loved entering the fairyland middle stanza. The two framing stanzas enhance the magical quality of the garden. The punchline for me was the down-to-earth sound of “suburban zucchini.”
Hahaha! An escape from and back to reality.
You give a vicarious visit to mother nature and her garden. thanks
Thank you, Linda. 🙂
Oh, friend, you always make me smile. Such rich images here!
Thanks, ESW. There’s just something about a garden growing–but not in England past. 😉
new dish: suburban zucchini
Bringing nourishment to the worn, blue collars. 🙂
Plant only one plant and it dies. Plant four and yes you gotta search out more zucchini recipes!
More recipes and more giving–that’s the way to live!
