            Waiting

Autumn garden bed-
   Cool mist, overcast, wet dirt
       Where bulbs are dropped in,
Waiting through the winter freeze
For spring and happy flowers.

Rich Tassinari 10/18/16

About the Poet
Husband, father, grandfather, and each title is my joy. As a youth, poetry was a means to express the inexpressable. I was attracted to (and still am) the beauty and brevity of verse. All flows out from God, and like a proper prayer, can flow back.
