Patio Moments
I love my potted plants
hanging from the patio
Some nurtured from seed
others bought from a nursery
Either way, they thrive
within my cradling hands
The earth slips between
my stretched fingers,
The water sings its song
as I give them a morning drink
Vibrant roses, petunias, pansies
laughing, joyous, showy blouses
sway in the morning breeze.

Have a blessed Sunday.
Thank you, Rose.
The look of sunshine on the patio is inviting. In your sphere, as our patio is now free of snow but it is a gray, cold and drizzly day on our patio…your patio is an inspiration to us as someday we can sit in the warm sun later this year! I love your poem – to focus on plants and other of the Lord’s natural beauty is to relax and admire the plant life you have nurtured…
Thank you for your thoughtful words, Ralph.
Fascinating mingling of shadow lines and shapes! Like a shadow landscape!
Thanks so much, Gemma.
