Homes Or Gardens? Poem by Mary Spain
Homes Or Gardens?
I'm sure they would be happier outside;
You're sure they would give greater joy indoors.
I'm certain they would take far greater pride
In brightening the earth; you plead the cause
Of wards in hospitals, and brides' bouquets,
And city churches where the weary go,
And drab bed-sitters that knew better days...
Until, defeated, I - who help them grow,
And marvel as each shoot breaks through the soil,
And plan the borders with green-fingered care
That every specimen should be a foil
To best display the others growing there -
Am silenced. Cut them if you must; but take
Your scissors gently, for the garden's sake.
i bet your home and garden were the best you've ever had created.could spare some space for me? nice piece mary.
Green-fingered care - how wonderfully you describe the ordinary Mary. Keep up your writing do.
A nicely composed poem, lucid and beautiful metaphors,10 for it.
Her poetry itself is a beautiful, each word carefully tended and not cut but
What a lovely gardener's poem. It says it all so succinctly. Read mine - In Season - Adeline

And drab bed-sitters that knew better days... another marvel of simple words yet containing a depth of meaning in them...readers would jump with joy on this... music to the ears ... Until, defeated, I - who help them grow, And marvel as each shoot breaks through the soil, And plan the borders with green-fingered care That every specimen should be a foil beautiful phrase, presenting a powerful contrast, creating a lovely, pleasing image before the eyes. this has love for plants, lives and earth...I loved the phrase Green Fingered care.... To best display the others growing there - Am silenced. Cut them if you must; but take Your scissors gently, for the garden's sake. The ending is just apt, superb and heartwarming. This poem is a metaphor for life itself, this is open to sa many maenings and interpretations that one can keep spinning a web of imagination till infinity...
