See what happens when you over water?
It’s time to tend a little garden.
Grab some tin snips and start
with the metal myrtle.
I know, they aren’t weeds, just plants
in the wrong place.
Maybe not so wrong though as
the seeds were cast in iron.
The sky the planner, planter scraped
was peeled and set like beams of light.
Now we like ants wander underneath
and in and out,
and in and out.

off topic…tried to comment on blogger blogs first time today with my wordpress ID and strange things happened…ts…ts…some blogger blogs didn’t allow me to comment at all with wp id – i had to use an open id in the end…some made me claudiamargarethe and some jaywalkingthemoon – but none of them let me comment as claudia….well…we’ll get there..
Glad I am not alone in the comment struggle.
An overwatered garden. Great overall concept and use of language.
“The sky the planner, planter scraped
was peeled and set like beams of light.”
Excellent flow, which also fits the image very well. Cool take on the prompt, Jerry
I like the way you capture the wandering like ants…nice!
nice…great minds think alike on the ants…our garden is more than plentiful but the food is not scarce, just controlled by 1 %….nicely played jerry…
This is so visual and so true…
Ilovely – especially liked –
‘ … planter scraped

yep ants we are …nicely put .Thank you
ants ants Great response to the prompt. I love metal myrtle, and the whole garden metaphor.
What a great metaphor. Yes, there’s too many places that have been overwatered.
And those weeds will keep on growing, too, and new ones will sprout.
Good poem, Jerry.
I very much enjoy the feel of this…and your internal rhyme lines are nice and subtle, but offer a bit of fun pause as one reads…nice take on photo~
