Harrington Hardly Hesitated🌹
As an habitual gardener, past,
When showers would oft herald in the spring,
It was an honor for me when I’d see
E’er tiny sprigs’ eager draw to new light.
In a season’s burst of horticulture,
The days find me out, long cultivating.
I’m filled with a joy’s everlasting love,
To give all of this growth hopeful haven.
I’m kneeled as in prayer, a spade to the earth,
Just like the rich soil in olde Hawaii).
Lilac, & honeyed suckle on the vine,
Are maturing near walkways & trellis.
In the locality of hedge rows, squared,
With their snow-gray hoar frost in a section,
Resembles a maze in Red Queen’s garden,
Except I, with my dead-headed roses.

Splendid...why wait even a sec?...

And a cleverly constructed pastoral though the last verse stands out strongly and perhaps sadly

Re. Harrington Hardly Hesitated
What a wonderful observation of Spring in the time of Ēostre - ah, Easter... and it does hearken back in ways to the British Romantics - I adore earth poetry especially as it resonates so perfectly with the season!
Love it!

Thank you, Mahmudul, you will in time, my friend, you will. I come from a heritage of story-tellers, raised on years since my earliest youth, of listening & learning where we came from in the different clans of ancestors. Once I became a writer, poetry has honed my skills to paint vistas of histories with words.

As far I know we don't have any enlightened one among our ancestors let alone any poet. Also, English is not even my mother tongue. But, I find it easier to depict my feelings in English. Maybe the language is just that much rich. Also, this type of old English attracts me a lot. I'm learning little by little. And I know I will be good enough one day. But, the mind wants to use everything it can to express itself.
