New quick poem:

Garden Warfare

My neighbour gardens
like they are at war.
The power tools their artillery
the weedkiller their chemical agent.
Nature must be subdued
all wildness controlled.
I want the Earth to shout
what I can't
to fight back.
But it keeps the peace
like I.
It can only quietly
resist
by killing their brambles.
I can only hope
my organic words
take root
instead.

🌾 Gut zu erkennen sind die feinen Staubfäden - zarte Details der Wald-Trespe. Die Gräserblüte ist ein stilles Schauspiel, das leicht übersehen wird.

🌾 Delicate details of the Wood Brome – the long, fine stamens are clearly visible. Grass in bloom is a quiet spectacle, easily missed.

I wish I could press #Snowflakes in a #Book like #Flowers.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest #Hue to hold.

Her early #Leaf's a #flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So #Eden sank to #Grief,

So #Dawn goes down to day.
Nothing #Gold can #Stay.

- #RobertFrost 1874-1963

The Little Purple #Aster waits till very late,
Till the #Flowers all have faded from the #Garden gate.
Then when the #World is dreary, her #Buds have all unfurled,
They seek to #Cheer the everchanging, somber #Autumn world.
- S. C. Stone

The #Autumn has tinged the #Trees with #Gold,
And crimsoned the #Shrubs of the #Hills;
And the full #Seed #Sleeps in the earth's #Bosom so cold;
And #Hope all the #Universe fills.

- Sir John Bowring (1792-1872)

Though summers change and pass away -
Though dies the #Beauty of the hill and plain -
Though warmth and color fade each #Autumn day -
#Hope passes not, and abides to say
That our brightest #Joys shall all come again.

- George Arnold, American #Poet (1834-1865)
