Plants Along My Path - Poems about Plants
Poetic Discourses On Plants
The plants have many things to teach us
Below is some of my original poetry that pays homage to plants of all kinds. There are also books for you to read to learn about the growing and tending of plants.

Vines
Slender tentacles reaching
Groping for a solid hold
When unanchored they're beseeching
Asking for permission, bold
In the winter these die back
Looking dead upon the walls
As the sunlight, warmth do lack
Nature knows, the growth it stalls
Now in spring the growing spurt
And the twisting lengths progress
Reaching, reaching, they assert
Into a crevice, into a recess
Grow Your Vines
Let Us Learn From Plants
Let us learn from plants
Rooted as they are
Still living life's dance
Both near and afar
Whether in a kept garden
Or willowy and wild
Plants don't beg our pardon
But would like if we smiled
The Spider Plant
The spider plant parents
By sending baby shoots
That can be cut from momma
And planted to grow roots

In Our Sunroom
In our sunroom my husband keeps our plants
There must be about 50 to which we gave a grant
We have ivies and palms and others I can't name
And we would make more room if another came

Centipedes in the Soil
We had centipedes in the palms' soil
They'd crawl to the surface for the sun
In another land they'd be fried in oil
But now I don't see any; they're gone
Lilacs from My Garden
Lilacs are Blooming
Lilacs are blooming this month of May
In fragrant cones about the bush
The fragrance makes me rather gay
The rest of summer they're green and lush
If you've a garden and are able
Snip some lilacs for your table
Else enjoy them on your stroll
Inhale deeply to soothe your soul

Plentiful is the Harvest
Plentiful is the harvest when tended with care
When given of sun and water and air
When the soil is rich of what plants need
And the farmer has sown of the finest seed
Your Own Farm
Planter Pots
Planter pots are waiting to be filled
With what had been in the ground once tilled
In shapes and colors for every taste
Fill them for your pleasure today; make haste
