Gardener (Free verse) by lastobelus
I work now with small green things
and brilliant colours.
The smell of the earth
is deeply ingrained in the ridges of my flesh
and the sky touches down the brim of my hat.
On a rainy day I sit with a paper
and go out later to feel Iâm being watered.
I have a bright yellow oilskin
and the rain runs cold off my forehead
and down my nose.
I have a rosebush named Candy
and one named Sue
and a wheelbarrow.
I have a long, long time
to watch the wild things grow.
