Windowsill Gardening

(A found poem, selecting words from an article in the Arts & Minds Newsletter / Spring 2021)

thing is

even your lovely home

will go:

you'll soon

feel great

butter a friend

or friends

share seeds

and compost them

to cut costs

You could

create neighbours

Each week

just three people

would generate £12

So Sweet Basil:

Young foliage

picked whole

Chives

will die

Rosemary

year after year

roasted Italian

well fed and watered

curly-leaved mounds

best to 'rest'

aromas from fish

Lemon Balm

as skin

essential

to promote stress
