Gershwin – The Elephant's Trunk

Written for Ronovan Writes Ovi Poetry Challenge #55
where ‘joy’ is our inspiration and for Moonwashed Weekly
Prompt of ‘feathery blues’. This is my ovi poem.

Gardening is my source of joy
I talk to plants and they act coy
But then sprout like a teenage boy
They’re the center of attention

I have some lovely blue heather
Blossoms airy like a feather
Changeable as the weather
From baby blue to electric

My plants don’t ask much of me
Tender care I give willingly
And the best part is it’s free
Just a little of my time

I would like to be a plant
One to delight and enchant
Like a painting by Rembrandt
Sitting on a piano.

Ovi Poetry Challenge 55: JOY is your inspiration.
