Gift

by Hilda Conkling (1910-1986)

This is mint and here are three pinks

I have brought you, Mother.

They are wet with rain

And shining with it.

The pinks smell like more of them

In a blue vase:

The mint smells like summer

In many gardens.

PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.

You are welcome to join us!

Here are few not-too-onerous PWB rules
