Come
into the garden
at dawn
before
dew dries
from the dragonfly
Come
as the sun
filters
through cedars
to glow
on the rippled
waters of pond
Come
with trowel and seed
energy
to last all day
pluck a weed
don’t forget
to feed
hungry peonies

NaPoWriMo Day 19 prompt to write a command poem. This is my garden commanding me to get to work.
Write about a seed in the garden
how it was placed in rich soil
when temperature warmed
your patience required
before there was a sprout

NaPoWriMo Day 4 prompt to write a prompt poem concerning a prompt.
This patch of ground
fertile soil holding
early pea seed
planted along the fence
golden edible pea pods
(I’m anxious for a stir fry—
hope of a harvest)
while underground
furry predator tunnels
eats them up
before they can sprout
no Spring pea patch
SEEDS were small
wrinkled
dried out
until soil held them
& moisture
fed them
now
tender & true
____________
dVerse prompt to take a seed name and write a poem. I chose “tender and true”.
