A poem written September 18, 2004

Garden Lament

by this Elizabeth

Oh, my garden
you are full of weeds
on my list of priorities
you are number 33

Your roses have aphids
raspberry shoots abound
the new iris will be lucky
not to be mowed down

Oh, my garden
in the eye of my dreams
blooming with fall flowers
not these weedy reams
