D’Verse Poets Pub – Poetics with poisonous plants
—
A Healing Garden
I will purge my pretty garden of
its foxglove poison
Plow under the toxic nightshade and
noxious belladonna
Take a hatchet to the deadly hemlock
Rip out the baneful wolfsbane
and let my garden heal itself with fields
Of golden dandelion, mallows, yarrow
And St John’s Wort
Great idea–I love happy dandelions even as my hubby makes endless war on them.

The dandelions are such happy flowers… yet we hunt them, maim them for the sake of poison plants… maybe it’s the same with humans
