    A Bed

    All tucked in

    Hay as a top sheet

    Inches of white

    Snow as a comforter

    Bulbs, roots, and rhizomes

    Nap and dream until

    Spring wakens them

    I always want to put my flowers to bed before winter...it sounds so conscientious, but somehow, it never happens. lol I like you easy, calm style.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
