W hat's is a seed - what's in a seed ?
H ow does such a small and shrivelled thing
A lways result in a flower a vegetable
T hat looks (and tastes) just like it says on the packet ?
I plant lots of seeds on my allotment
S owing them in good soil and watering
A seed is full of great expectations !
S ow them in hope - harvest them with joy
E very seed contains DNA derived from its "parent"
E ach seed has DNA for its species - veggie or flower
D ont ever take seeds for granted - each one is JEWEL !
Have you planted any seeds this year ? Please comment - BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: I'm a BIOCHEMIST and for me each seed I plant is an experiement in science and faith. I know my carrot seeds contain carrot DNA and I have faith that they will germinate and produce carrot plants the root of which will be good to eat - carrots are yummy ! My part is in preparing the soil (not too much clay for carrots) watering and protecting my growing plants fom weeds (competition) and insects who will eat them. I find growing things very cathartic - flowers for beauty and veggies and fruit for body ! Thanks for reading - please comment - BRIAN

This is such a brilliant poem. For me, each seed is like hope and every time one is planted it gives more hope for new life to spring.
Thanks KAYCHEE - each seed is full of promise and gives us hope and assurance for the future - OK - Yours BRIAN
