Green Thumb

Green Thumb

 

She can grow anything

On any type of ground

A love of life she always brings

To every plant she’s found

 

She repots some and transplants others

And waters all just right

Every plant she patiently mothers

Regardless of the type

 

She sometimes wears her gardening gloves

And dons a big straw hat

She nurtures plants with her love

And they respond to that

 

Many plants have their flowers

Like roses and carnations

She prunes them all faithfully

And improves their presentation

 

Every spring she goes to bring

Little flowers from the store

She always buys many more

With the beautiful flowers galore

 

Her perennials surely profit well

And the annuals too

There’s simply not a single flower

That she cannot improve

    Beautiful write for a great read!
    Hooray for the green thumb.
    My dad had a green thumb for his vegetable garden, his lawn, and his precious fig trees.

      Thanks Laura! This poem is for my mother. She has the green thumb in our family.

        God bless our moms! Mine can’t do much any more! She can barely pick up a fork or a spoon, but she enjoyed her youth!

          Gardening is another passion of mine - just top dressed the herbaceous border, pruned the climbing roses and planted so many bulbs I've lost count. As you can guess the great little write appeals to me

              I was going to say this sounds like it would be your mom or your wife. Not the Green Thumb am I in my family. I do ok with the lawn, but beyond that my thumbs are tied. Great write wc.

                Thanks AP! I wrote this poem with my mom in mind. She is a little older now, but she still has some impressive flower beds. I have zero skills when it comes to growing things.

                  We grow gardens of poetic flowers. ; )

                    Yes, I guess that's true. 😉
