We are part of POETRY FRIDAY so if you are hunting the host, travel to the bayou with Margaret hosting Reflections on the Teche.
But also welcome to Bookseedstudio’s bloom time plant time.
Here we are inching toward being torreya guardians, nurturing a rare babe of an ancient species of North Florida that is so special it has its own website. We felt lucky to cart a fringed creature off in our haul from Birdsong’s Olde Timey Plant Sale. 
We also planted a tough-leaf kumquat, gift of my dear father-in-law, who dug it up for transplant. And he is a hardy species himself, at age 95+ (we won’t exactly say….) Among groundlings we planted from seed, color pop zinnia and yellow-flower cucumbers push the dirt down in the ground around and lift their eyes to the sky. The established blueberries, Meyer lemons, aloe, jasmine, gardenias, penta, and likely some chlorophyllic creatures I’ve forgotten to mention, each of them tickle our fancy.
A little green in the scheme
On a postage-stamp plot or even in a clay pot
a little green
in the scheme of things
planted
nurtured
means more green growing
in this world of
plastic and concrete
means green growing things
set up shop within eyesight
tiny oxygen factories
serve a light lunch to
munchers
who can’t ever expect to prospect for
a meal
with a cents-off coupon
in concrete glass plastic
grocery
stores
