Sprouting

by Clara Mae Gregory

On a wicker chair
In a backyard nook
Without a fence
Down by the brook
It seemed as if
I had no cares
While sprouting in
The sun’s rays there
I planted torments
Never shared
Lying dormant
Buried unaware
The floral scents
Flourish in the air
Engulfing presence
Surrounds my chair
And so I sit
In my backyard nook
Without a fence
Down by the brook
Sprouting in
The sun’s rays there

"I planted torments
never shared"

Wow, the contrast is sharp. Seemingly careless while catching a few rays, yet inside planting torments. Yes I've been there. And then, there is that engulfing presence. It is all one. Very well done.
