Who's story
by whom
Green leaves Potting soil Hoe, shovels Watering can Fresh air Sunshine ButterfliesA Bees Stakes String Spring Fertilizer Thumbs of brown Wishes of green Bright spots Of color Fragrance Sneezing Dandelions Thorny weeds Stone rabbits Hummingbird Apples, pears Things of green Bean, corn, radishes Peas, carrots Squash growing wild Compost piles Busy day Rain pours down Drowning pretty things. Daylight, sunshine Growing wild Tomatoes ripe Big green worms And creepy crawly things
Second Story
by whom
Life's uncertain arrogance spills
with positive opinions, unceremoniously
bedded. Amid the dissolution, fragmented
souls of this life and the next.
Weary the traveler of unfulfilled
dreams, unburden the strife, mortify
the unruly antagonists.
Woe be the undaunted, strutting
with pride. Flaunted in the faces
of the bewildered, affluent posing
problematic.
Immensity is the dogma of life, head
hung, immeasurable the depths
of the untidy soul, no guilt.
Dissolution, strife, affluent, no hope
for those that are broken.
