Garden Musings in San Francisco



A simple rhyming sprite visited me while I was sitting on a bench in San Francisco enjoying the flowerbeds on Fisherman's Wharf. Luckily I had a Handy Dandy notebook and pencil in my purse.

Haphazardly wings beat,

black and yellow intertwined

checkerboards in flight.

Yellow fellow

comes along

joining in delight

The two flit side by side,

sucking pollen

with their might.

passion pink roses,

green stems

cause a plight.

Will their wings propel them onward,

or will 6 legs

hold on tight?

Outside I am sitting,

enjoying  

such a sight.
