A DAY IN SPRING --a Sonnette
While trav'ling through the yard on this June day,
I had a thought: pick only one of each
the blooming plants: a coneflower of peach,
a rose, rose campion--a nice bouquet,
with honeysuckle, yarrow's whitish hue.
I snip a coreopsis bloom, then reach
--a stretch--to break a branch of Wand'ring Jew.

" What to call this roadside bed?"
Let's see.
Shall I call it
the Bermuda-iris
bed? Or add 'rotting bulb foliage'
to it?
