My Friend Jack

                                                     

Why the obsession with Jack 

Early childhood succumbs me with delight

Orange globular beauty, tendrils, spectacular foliage

Excitement builds as school arrives; I know delight hides ride around the corner

Hunt all day discovering perfect one

Breath still at moment as anxiety arrives unfold 

Acres and acres as eyes behold such glory

Indian summer sweating with joy, picking specimens uglier then the next

Pimpled posteriors, warty lumps are presentation from heaven

Colors arrive in orange common among gang as white and yellow, a treasure to be found

Rich farming soil; I stand and pray

Father find for me a master of all

Flat and huge, a pink beauty captured that day

Rich glorious colors transforming unto artist palette

My little girl reveals herself, excited, happy; dirt painted across her checks

Simplicity, the key unlocking my jardin
