The joy of African Violets ~ a poem
"Violets In A Pot"
by BeasPeas
|
|
African violets thrive, pretty in a pot.
If one plant is good, much better to have a lot.
Last time I counted, there were fifteen, maybe more.
Vibrant colors like rainbows, blossoming galore.
Someday I'll grow another, showy as can be,
present it to a friend who'll tend it carefully.
But how could I part with a leafy child of mine,
then stare at the bare spot, its absence to remind?

Author Notes
I love my African violets. These in the photo aren't in bloom, but several others are. I have about 15 plants of various colors. To grow your own plant from a leaf cutting, suspend a leaf in a bud vase with the bottom of the leaf touching water at all times. It will take about a month for the leaf to grow roots. When the root is hardy, plant it in a pot. Any questions about the process--e-mail me and I'd be glad to help.
Syllables: 12
Thank you for reading my poetry.
