Title: Rockhollow's Life
Nineteen of Thirty
Unique Words: Eighty-Six
#NaPoWriMo19
I've been away five days
yet the many ways you've changed baffles me
from the iris in her other earthly dusk, cast from her naked roots
to the shoots of aquilegia amongst low branches of hazel.
In pots black tomatoes are ready to meet soil,
brassica settling into their long term home
before sleeping soundly in my stomach or compost
and I almost forgot to mention the giant forget me not
who is hot with majestic blue beside the pond
where tadpoles are much the same, but living,
immersed in ferns, water buttercup and loosestrife.
There's an abundance of life I feel I've missed overnight.

Brava P.M! I enjoyed this romp through your garden. How could you forget the unforgettable forget me nots? 😁
