Jolly good
Tangled roots,
clusters of bulbs,
teeny seeds,
one pack for dollar,
everything in soil,
ready for Spring,
sunshine and rain
to grow.
Something is all ready growing.
They must be zinnia seeds.
No, the plants are too big.
It must be something
what came from bird feeder seeds.
No, definitely,
they are not giant zinnias.
They must be future brooms.
Tangled roots,
cut into pieces,
are making their home
on the bank of a brook.
Sitting in the soil,
basking in sunshine,
sucking water,
I almost can hear them
saying:
jolly good.
