NAPOWRIMO 2016 DAY 5

Spend some time looking at the names of heirloom plants and write a poem that take it's inspiration from, or incorporates the name of, one or more of these garden rarities.


My childhood recollections are
Of the Burpee seed catalog
The mailman left
At our house filled with
Pictures of the flowers
My mother planted in her
Garden by the roadside
Zinnias and morning glories
In beautiful splashes of
Pastel colors that made
Springtime the
Season of choice
