Random Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I Was a
\nGardener –<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Not, but
\nI\u2019ll Show You
\nmy Wrinkled
\nPoetic License –<\/p>\n

Perhaps You\u2019ll
\nLet Me In.<\/p>\n

If I Was a
\nGardener
\nand I Found
\nan Envelope
\nwith a
\nPalmful of
\nRandom
\nSeeds,<\/p>\n

Perhaps I\u2019d
\nStrew Them in
\na Hidden Corner of
\nMy Rose Garden.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d Feed Them,
\nWater Them,
\nWatch Them<\/p>\n

with Curious Eyes.<\/p>\n

But I Wouldn\u2019t
\nWeed Them, or
\nOtherwise Judge Them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d Love to
\nPaint Them –<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Not a Painter,
\nBut Here\u2019s That Wrinkled
\nPoet\u2019s License.<\/p>\n

Perhaps You\u2019ll Love
\nthe Random Beauty of
\nRoses
\nTwined with
\nCarrot Tops
\nAdorned by
\nFerns
\nBeing Climbed by
\nDandelions
\nBeing Embraced by
\nWhatever Those Are.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Hearing That
\nThe Creator
\nAdores<\/p>\n

Our Wild Painting.<\/p>\n

And It\u2019s Not Even
\nFinished Yet.<\/p>\n
