d’Verse Poets Pub – Games night!
Sarah has us playing computer games. I chose the following three
Elder scrolls
Space war
Torchlight
–
I walk through the rows
By tourchlight, my trowel
In hand, a packet of seeds
In my pocket
Trying to plant the ‘old’ way
Under the light of the moon
Following the method written
In the elder scrolls –
Hoping that at harvest time
Peas and beans and squash
Will be engaged in space wars
I like this Candy. Had a timeless feel to it. Nicely done!

Great poem! Plant underground crops in the dark of the moon and above ground plants in the light of the moon. This is what I always heard! I think they will grow either way!!

I love the way you’ve taken those hi-tec words and gone back to something age old with them. Very clever. You take us there.

I like the idea of planting vegetables in the ‘old’ way, Candy, and hope that all the space in your garden is filled!

What a clever twist! I find I tend to over plant and then the fighting for space begins.
