Gardens of the Wild Wild West

Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw. ~H.D. Thoreau

Poetry for December 1st.

December1

I heard this on Idaho Public Television the other night, at the end of Idaho Edens. It took my breath away. First, because I have loved e e cummings since high school. Second, because it fits so beautifully into my world view.

Love is a place

love is a place

& through this place of

love move

(with brightness of peace)

all places

yes is a world

& in this world of

yes live

(skilfully curled)

all worlds

    So why don’t you join our poetry circle on the first of each month . I started Garden Bloggers’ Muse Day just for that reason. I’ll let folks know that you’ve got a poem up today. I love e.e. cummings as well !
