Shared worm-bonanza
yesterday – they were up high:
must be coffee grounds!
Category: Compost
“Nightcrawlers Get New Digs”
fed some just-found worms
into three new compost bins –
gift them coffee grounds?
“Only The Hungry Need Apply”
I need some more worms
to dance in my compost piles:
know a night-crawler?
“Soon: Summer Chores”
time to plant okra,
wild garlic and wild onions
and spread the compost.
“What a Great Deal!”
sleep warm, gentle worm
I give you my peels and pits
and you return dirt!
“Is Good For Worms”
wet winter brings forth
worms eager for some compost
in which to warm up
“As The Worm Turns”
old, fat, and cold-slowed –
living a languid dirt life:
not me! nightcrawler!
“Left Leaves” Tanka 84
falling factories
leave rorschach blots on the ground:
naked limbs reprove.
I will gather these sad leaves
and have happy spring compost!
“Just Add Compost” Tanka 58
beer, book, radio
shovel, rake, hoe and trowel:
collards, kales, lettuce,
leeks, onions, radish, snow peas,
kohlrabi, broccoli rabe!
“Today, On The Menu”
Hello, Old Worm.
Have some tres peels for supper
as I change your dirt!
