He planted a kiss on her silky smooth shoulder

So sweetly she smiled as she planted her garden

His shyness subliming, becoming now bolder

He planted a kiss on her silky smooth shoulder

Sun setting, clouds climbing, her skin getting colder

He offered his sport coat, then begging her pardon

He planted a kiss on her silky smooth shoulder

So sweetly she smiled; she had planted her garden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Triolet

Today's prompt: Use the word plant in any form or permutation (plantation, etc.)

She must have been a gardener of love and wisdom for she exhibits both.

The next best thing to writing a triolet is reading one; find more here at Mindful Poetry.

It doesn't sound like the male protagonist was much help with the gardening!
JOHN BECK Apr 28, 2012, 6:43pm UTC
She didn't abide anybody messing with her garden, Allen. :)

I know what that is like, too.
