The Gardener Ponders by Sarnia de la Mare



The Gardener Ponders

Soft-bodied wanderers,
tracing silver paths
across damp earth
and fallen leaves

Are the bain of my life.

How can they be so slow and yet so fast?

I got to thinking
as I perused
the damage on my sunflowers.

Shell-less
naked
disarmed

So exposed and yet unstoppable.


They glisten with their resilience.
we have no notion
where they will go
Only the hard fast evidence
That they were definitely here

I think of rain
how we stay in
and they come out
A perfect situation

They emerge, unhurried,
to taste the flavours of the night,
weaving gooey stories
on the skin of the soil
and my beautiful
manicured path

Don't get me started on my leaves

So ugly and yet .....
