Tanka


setting out plants
I take a chance this year
with something untried–
at my age even this
is an adventure

 

peonies bloom again
after trying to kill them
in ignorance;
what else have I lost
because of my not knowing?

Presence, autumn 2016
Ribbons, spring 2017

Thank you Sandy and Gillena,

I'm not doing much gardening this year. Age and arthritis have slowed me down.

Thanks for visiting.
