NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 8

Rhyme scheme: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, f.

Rhyme... ugh. Well, okay.

Making Magic Anywhere

Herbs to strengthen, boost, clear:
into the tea egg, into the cup.
Colour comes to the boiling water.
I stir counter-clockwise
to follow the sun's path.
Later, herbs into the garden bed
with the wish to bless and nourish.
My vegetables blessed, and well fed.


Thanks to any Real Toads reading. I'm sorry DreamWidth makes it so darned difficult to comment if you're not a member. I am reading your poems, inbetween madly proof reading my new book, and preparing for its launch.
4 stanzas? No hope. I'm thankful I got this skerrick.

Oh, and since you have access to your friend "satyapriya" - please pass along my thoughts to her - I have enjoyed her posts when she participates, but like the others, can't comment - which must be/is frustrating for all.
