Ageing hands tend frond and fern
caring for each plant in turn,
sings is happy as she goes
thinks about how much she'll earn.

Glad with what nobody knows
just her secret what she grows,
a little hobby on the side
ekes out pension buys her bows.

A gardener's life now applied
she takes rebellion in her stride,
a busy basement gone to pot
the growing market is worldwide.

On raised beds, she doesn't squat,
arthritis rules her joints are shot,
a little smoke will ease the pain
dried fronded plants hits the spot.

Some turn for help from malted grain
but not the drink for our Elaine,
sets out to grow and then to burn
this crop she tends in her domain.

let me add.....

...my admiration for UYS. This a smoothly flowing Rubyiat and sets out a precise story neatly within the frame - no mean task.<P>

I don't think I've ever read a marijuana poem

on this website, at least. The 'is' in the first stanza seems a little off. good stuff.

This is a very good poem, UYS.

Your rhythm (meter) generally is very smooth, the rhyme is true, and the content is charming. It's really quite a good example of the form, in my opinion, and I quite liked it.

what a range

of subjects you write on, UYS. I loved this. Your form was awesome, the rhyme fit so well. I truly enjoyed reading this one.
