Now How Does Your Garden Grow
 
Digging deeper
In rich earth
Planted seedlings
Reach to birth
 
April blossoms
Sprout anew
Tulips risen
Phlox debut
Summer melons
Juicy sweet
Picked from vine
Fed by peat
 
Foliage tumbles
Mulch to feed
Broken branches
Rakes pay heed
 
Windswept myrtles
Lone and stark
Drifting snowflakes
Daytimes dark
 
Birds returning
Buds emerge
Dogwoods dancing
Nature’s splurge
 
Lifelong seasons
Ebb and flow
Grandson cooing
Afterglow
