My Freshly Finished Garden by Maria L. Berg 2023

Today’s Form For All prompt is to write a Quatern

A Garden Once Begun

Today, I finished my garden
Over four days I toiled in soil
The hoe broke through thick roots and rocks
As if last year’s work never was

And I dug up such a large rock
Today; I finished my garden
In the same plot I’ve worked for years
I will paint it as a path stone

To greet me when I come to weed
My even horizontal rows
I finished planting. My garden
Will be the best this year because

I worked harder, and dug deeper
Seems I exclaim that every year
I will reap what I sow soon, but
Today, I finished my garden

  5. What an upbeat Quatern, Maria. The use of enjambment took me round your garden and left me wanting to get on with my own. I love the idea of the painted stone greeting you when you come to weed.

  6. I love your practical poem. I see you have the same problem I had with my garden. With those trees so close the roots will encroach into your garden space. Great use of the prompt form.
