Sarah Endo’s lovely work has been seen here before: Just Born. This new piece is anything but garden variety. It’s funny and visual, and I, for one, completely relate. A great end-of-summer poem, it is a tongue-in-cheek swat at the late-August outcome of April gardening plans. See how integrally gardening and writing are connected? Enjoy!
Flora, a Garden-Variety Poem
By Sarah Endo
Drooped
into a dried-out U,
the geranium
rebukes me,
“Et tu?”
Perfectly lovely. I could see the red, green and the brown and I could feel the heat of the day.
Thank you so much, Kay!
Oh, Sarah, you’ve seen my geraniums.
