GARDEN BLOGGERS' MUSE DAY

Indoor Gardener

A February wind blows dismally,

The sky is full of dark clouds hanging low,

The garden lies in numbed frigidity

And waits the falling of another snow.

Today, I planted seeds despite the cold,

For my tomato plants will mind it not­

Their tiny leaves will presently unfold

At my south window; in a flower pot!
