WANTED: Poetry or Literature Pieces

If you have a favorite piece of poetry that you feel might fit the theme of the garden WALKWAY or you have a special piece of literature that might fit, please submit it!

If the poetry fits, I will re-print it and frame it and incorporate it into the walkway this year.

If we get enough submissions, possibly then we can do a showing of the poetry!

THANKS for you help and input!

Windchime

She goes out to hang the windchime
in her nightie and her work boots.
It's six-thirty in the morning
and she's standing on the plastic ice chest
tiptoe to reach the crossbeam of the porch,

windchime in her left hand,
hammer in her right, the nail
gripped tight between her teeth
but nothing happens next because
she's trying to figure out
how to switch #1 with #3.

She must have been standing in the kitchen,
coffee in her hand, asleep,
when she heard it?the wind blowing
through the sound the windchime
wasn't making
because it wasn't there.

No one, including me, especially anymore believes
till death do us part,
but I can see what I would miss in leaving?
the way her ankles go into the work boots
as she stands on the ice chest;
the problem scrunched into her forehead;
the little kissable mouth
with the nail in it.
