Herbs
In a world full of lettuce
it's the herbs that might save us
from nothing but piles
of dull food on the table.
So I'll grow some herbs
as long as I'm able.
In a world full
of half-truths
maybe the truth could be there in a verse.
For nothing is added, it's
all short and sweet,
with every bit counting
like herbs flavor meat.
In a world full of sameness
it's our thoughts that might save us
from nothing but lots
of dull talk round the table.
So I'll write some poems
as long as I'm able.
Herbs received an Honorable Mention in the Herb Garden Competition and was accepted for online publication (as It's the Herbs that Might Save Us) in Sol Magazine, May 2004.
