I particularly like the alusion to planting a small personal plot and coaxing it to harvest.

Thanks, dugh. It's what we do in a way, and just like plants and foods, they give us things we need. Nourishment of a different sort... Thanks for taking the time to leave me your thoughts, my friend... cheers... Gary...

This was cool Gary! Funny to think someone may drag up our work in years to come and say, oh look ancient poems...I agree about poetry being our 'food' nourishment for the soul. Nice job, Gary xox

Thanks, tim. Words have lasted forever through the ages, so who knows. Maybe someday, an alien will be translating our poems and trying to figure out what they mean . Thanks for the support, tim... cheers... Gary...

Gary, I certainly hope you continue to verb and noun my garden.

OMG, I didn't mean that to sound dirty!

sorry sd, but I need to get this out of my system

So, Gary, I love the look you've given us into the mind of a poet and the process (and the "blood, sweat and tears") that occurs to bring thoughts and words to the page so that we may be a part of the journey too. It's all a bit magical.

If anyone ever needed to know the true definition of a poet, they need look no further than your words right here.

As always, nicely done but this time I need to add... well done, my friend, well done!

Yeah, skinny has an awesome sense of humor. I find that sexy hehe. Thanks for the kind words and the support you given in such a wonderful review. I very much appreciate it. I love poetry, and I believe it will always be a part of me. It provides me with so much, and if it gives something to the reader, all the better. Cheers, my friend... Gary...

I love your couplets, they are great,
now I want to celebrate;
verse need not be dark of part,
but instead for light of heart

Thank you, Gary!

Why thank you, sir! I'm glad you liked this one. Poetry is a big part of me. I love getting in the 'garden' and seeing what I can grow . Thanks for the support... cheers... Gary...

Wow!!! Such a great honor for a poet. See people, we poets(Yeah, I am a poet too... ) tend to a lot of hard work to create even a small poem. We do lot of work. Thanks to Gary, from me and all poets, for showing it very clearly and beautifully. It was a great work.

Love,

~Emi.

Thanks, Emi, for such a great review. I'm glad you liked this one. And yes, you are a wonderful poet. I think we both can agree that it is very rewarding, and a good way to express what's inside us as we cultivate our thoughts into words. I appreciate the support, my friend... cheers... Gary...

Very nice Gary.. After all that, who wouldn't want to be a part of or share the bounty of that garden. We all benefit in such wonderful ways..

Thanks, Def! I'm glad you think so. As I said to someone else, it's a garden that gives a different kind of nourishment. Thanks for the review, and your constant support... cheers, my friend... Gary...

It's a great concept for a poem, and a beautiful analogy. I also think your choice of a consistent metre and rhymed couplets adds to the 'poetic' feel your verb-noun patch is tending.

Tender shoots grow into mighty thoughts. Thanks for posting this
