Her new gardener
The Gardener by Pissarro
Her new gardener
So unkempt and disheveled
He had green fingers
He loved his work there
Ghastly scars marking his face
Told of his cruel past
He spoke to the plants
And she spoke to him of love
Her man to cherish
So sweet... my dad has a green thumb, but not me.
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves a gardener.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of fingers stained green by so much time working with the plants. My father is great with plants, but I've found that most growing things do best if I stay far away.
ReplyDeletePleasantly rural.
ReplyDeleteThe gardener with green fingers and a golden heart.
ReplyDeleteSounds like both gardener and plants need nurturing..
ReplyDeleteFeeling of Love...we all need it: people and plants.
ReplyDeleteSweet.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a gardener who talked to the plants.It was not because he was particularly nurturing. It was because he was stoned most of the time.
