Garden Lady Poem by Howard Johnson
Garden Lady
Her fingers long and slender
As to the rest of her
Wonder how such frailty could, labor
Seen with dirt under nails
Her drive is a better world
She has gone further
Than just a frail young woman
Her fingers long and slender
With the smell of future flowers
Soon will give you much to see
Exceeding your garden needs
The plants she sows
They are hardy
They will grow
Through heat
Through neglect
She will give you what you expect
And tell you not to neglect
Keeping them alive is nothing new
Seedlings comming through
In a secret garden
Away from the cruel....
She holds a thornless rose
Timeless and fragile
Pretty and pink
With other pastel inks
The blossoming is forever
In her heart
A model for all to know
For no other could grow
Another season begins
Life lush and green
That is her nature
Fingers long and slender
it is a nice poem, its a mix of truth, romantisicm and secret. I like the image you paint too, its another look at a stereotype that isnt thought about much =) not bad
i like the message tha you are send through this poem and the way you did it is very beautyfull. well done
The hands of a woman, strong yet nurturing, maintaining and caring for life. This is the message that comes through loud and clear to me. I do not know if thats the message you were trying to convey, but thats what i got from this one and I really enjoyed this read, thank you for sharing it with us.
So much food for thought here as I see a very spiritual Blessing here. An invisible gardener seen in the eyes of someone who sees beyond while tending her garden and gathering wisdom from the beauty she sees around her. Her arousing curiosity and thirst for knowledge to be a better and better gardener in many ways through life.....Thank you Howard for pulling me in, I love that.....
Nature's gardener or a lady of depth.Beautiful personification.Wonderful poem.
I can't help but think that this is 'Mother Nature' that you've described so eloquently! Great write Howard! Hugs, Dee
