The way this blog is going to work is that I will post a poem that I have written either new or old and then above it I will give my prose interpretation of it. My interpretation is not the "right" one, everybody "sees" things from their own perspective.

ACCIDENTAL HORTICULTURE

Unfortunately the inspiration for this poem came from a real life fall. Looks like my accident has finally caught up with me. I join the ranks of the truly handicapped. I now use a cane.


Learned of a new flower
in life's garden on
Labor Day called
a face plant.

The sidewalk blossomed
with red, painted
with fresh blood.

Backboards and neck braces
provide protection
against fractures of the stem.
