Square Feet

In my friend's garden,

orange, blue and yellow grow

with green vegetables.

Peppers hang out with

marigolds and lobelia

and other blossoms

summer squash snuggles

in its silver steel wire cage

butter yellow blooms

purple green lettuce

tomatillos vines climbing

clinging to wood poles

happy sunflower

raises its face to the sun

in my friend's garden.
