Oklahoma Greenhouse Poem by Lisa Sweet

Pansies for March
Petunias for April
Geraniums and Roses for May and June

July wakes Caladium and Elephant Ears slow sleepy bulbs
Not a moment soon

Crepe Myrtles, Lantana, Moss Roses all summer's core
Reveal their true colors with August's warmth soar

September October call Asters and Mums
Close Summer's season and welcome again
Pansies in velvety pallets of blue

Awaken my senses; the gift, the cue
Of beauty awaiting beyond heaven's door


Be still
Look deep
Let Nature restore
