Peoples Poetry

friendquotepoem # 17

I’d love to visit but
this time of the year I’m
knee deep in seedlings and
planting stuff tomorrow I’m
getting 25 trees last week I
planted 15 blueberry bushes
and a bunch of fruit trees add
to that a one-eyed horse I
recently adopted named him
jack and a brooding hen I’m
trying to keep the rooster
from bothering so for
a while I’m pretty tied up
