Like a Garden

a blog is a garden.
while well-tended, blossoms appear:
fragrant jasmine, thorned roses,
upright jacks-in-the-pulpit.

when neglected, weeds sprout:
persistent dandelions, stubborn
pigweed, and annoying quackgrass.

mine requires a little TLC,
sunshine, moisture, and copious
amounts of fertilizer. manure.

fortunately i seem to possess
more than enough of the latter
commodity. i’m full of it.
