fledgeling garden

Posted by: matt, in Garden, Poetry

seeds planted
underground
little stores
energy
for growing

roots extend
searching
for water
for nutrients
for space

tiny shoots
break the earth
reaching
for the sky

first leaves
unfold in pairs
turning faces
towards the sun

true leaves
appear
giving shape
to what
will come

    I like it - especially the last stanza. (is that the right word?)

    Thanks. I was casting around for a likely poetry topic and I thought of the beans breaking through in the garden so I was off and running.
