Hi Indar,

I didn't really get into this. I just didn't find the basic idea interesting enough. One part I did like, though, was this:

I stroke the long ribbony leaves
of my snake plants,
they have such pretty skins.
OK, that's a little too intimate isn't it?

A poem where the speaker is a little too familiar with his/her plants would be well worth the admission fee :-)

All the best,

Trev

Colm! Glad to see you are back from your most recent trek away from TTB, leaving us to post old poems to fill in the gap you leave. Thank you for the read and comment.

Trevor, I was almost embarrassed whilst writing that stanza, I'm not certain I could write a whole poem in that vein. hanks for the read and comments.
