&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;womb of the future&lt;br /&gt;
preparing for ejection&lt;br /&gt;
of worlds within worlds&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;nested potentials&lt;br /&gt;
explode into creation&lt;br /&gt;
to dance in the sun&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and carpet the world&lt;br /&gt;
in chlorophyll wonders --&lt;br /&gt;
pretty tasty stuff!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;;-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(do you know why this is double-spacing? then when i go back to insert extra space between verses, why it won't recognize the extra lines at all? - with my luck, after i go away and can't edit anymore, all the spaces will magically appear, and this post will be a mile long! ;-)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Seeds...&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I always plant&lt;br /&gt;
parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme,&lt;br /&gt;
so, I always eat.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Good seed nurtures me.&lt;br /&gt;
Expecting new life to show,&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
I see green triumph.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Windowsill gardens&lt;br /&gt;
bring earth, water, sun and life&lt;br /&gt;
together, spring soon.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      

Thistle leaves collect,
tender dandelion leaves eat,
taste bitter for sweet.


Weeds pull easier
one at a time with small roots,
problems go away.

Sun and wind power
keep fleeting shadows off crops;
scarecrow hangs C.D.s. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      .


Beauty finds kindness
in a child's look of wonder
as a tree frog leaps.

Spring walk ministers 
to my sensibilities,
heart, especially.

Greens blush, fragrance wafts,
day after a desert rain,
birds sing everywhere.


.
