Can I FUDGE a little?
Cheat the season a tiny bit?
I STOOD and pondered the
dusty leaves and mud,
giving way to dreams of
a rainbow – CHARD, arugula,
zinnias, basil, marigolds, eggplant!
Modest ambitions, no need to win
an AWARD, my little garden is
its own reward.

Georg’ann

WATCH daybreak, slowly
light comes on as if the sun
were on a dimmer switch
easing us into the day.
Pink glow along the horizon,
sliver of silver crescent moon
rests in dark branches.
AWAKE to receive this REWARD.
