They also taste bitterness, both sweet and sour.
When plants are abused by showers,
The Garden can barely bear any flowers.
.
Before it is too late,
I must apply my spade and rake,
And do whatever it will take,
To restore order for goodness' sake.
.
I turn the soil loose and flat,
I sow fresh seeds out,
Not sure what I will get,
But keep trying is what life is all about.
.
The soil may be irrigated by tides,
A virus may eat the heart out of my sides.
I don't know what type of plant survives
As time and nature sluice away our lives.
.
Solutions are sought 2 solve problems,
Keys are applied to unlock doors.
How a key fits into a key hole to do wonders,
It depends on concrete situations of yours.

Very nice, put me in a contemplative mood.
I really like the shift from gardening to solutions-great magpie!
I love the word "sluice" and especially how you used it in your poem, Jingle. You're right - we do have to keep trying to find just the right key.
sluice is a really old word, well written ji, awsome xxx

Brilliant, Jingle, utterly brilliant! I love your interpretation of the prompt, as seeing the keyhole as a symbol of problems and their solutions. You express a really uplifting and true message in this poem, and it is a joy to read :)

I'm not too familiar with magpie tales, but holy moly, your poem is cool.
Clever writing here...nicely done. Hope you have a great weekend.
Your hopefulness shines through your poetry.

Incredible writing.
So much there.
Yes, the raking and weeding is so nessecary.
Sometimes a garden just needs to be left a while to rest as farmers sometimes leave their fields to grow wild for a season.
So that they can flourish richly again and feed others from their store.
Jingle, what a fun and pleasure to read this poem!! have a great weekend :-)
wow...great poem...
Too many tears do wash out
bodies, gardens and lives!
love the word ' sluice'.
Rhyme for every line is exhausting, no ?
I rolled to: every other line and then one per stanza- sometimes when I get in the mood I play with
it again! Thanks !
I enjoyed this so much! Put me a special kind of rhythm, and now I return to my work, taking the memory of your poem with me. Thank you.
