Botanical Blues

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My garden will

sleep

when flowers do

fade

I tuck away

tools

rake

trowel

and spade

I pile all

remains

They’ll turn into

earth

That feeds new

plants

that yield sweet

mirth

While all is

asleep

I bide idle

time

With thoughts of spring

blooms

and summer’s new

wine

Not from a

bottle

does my merry joy

come

But in relived

memories

under sweet summer’s

sun

Memories of vivid

colors

in all imaginable

hues

It’s a great way

to ward off

winter’s botanical

blues!

Hues of blue, in the garden, are a favorite of mine.  Don’t be surprised to see more blues posted here…  Do you think blue is a favorite color of our Creator? After all, He created great expanses of it on earth!
