Planting

Standing by the window
coffee cup in hand
my mind begins to wander
and I think: my house, my land

Now outside the doorway
considering, at ease
what special fun-like chores
to do -- I'll work on, as I please

I choose to do a garden
and go for rake and hoe
Here I'll plant some pansies
and arrange them in a row

I'll plant some peonies over here
and here, some iris tall
Along the driveway, I'll have tulips
that we planted in the fall

Already tired -- now that's enough
I'll be out again, I have a hunch
So clean the garage -- get rid of stuff
And then I'll get some lunch
