Buried Treasures

The theme this week is quite the thing,

It’s ‘What I love the most ‘bout Spring’!

What about this season makes me sing?

You have to know: It’s gardening!

A tray of nasturtiums, a little pink hoe,

The widest of smiles, almost ready to go!

She grabbed tiny gloves, in red boots, she was clad,

And three-year-old May went to garden with Dad.

Both daughter and Pop. In the dirt. On their knees.

Teased by a squirrel and the mischievous breeze,

They spent most an hour in the bright springtime sun,

Mom could tell by their glee, they were having such fun!

Soon the squeak of the latch and a “Mom!” at the door,

And the sound as her gloves and small boots hit the floor,

Then the tiptoe of little, sweet, tender pink feet,

‘Twas her May who was plying her brand of ‘discrete’.

She slipped up to Mom, and then peered all around,

“Mama!” she whispered, with hardly a sound,

“I was out helping Daddy. Watched all that he did!

“He buried the flowers. But I know where they‘re hid!”

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,

With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not? 

Next week, we’ll all pay tribute to,

All our lost socks, both old and new!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!
