Green Thumbed in the Garden –
Looking through fog
like pea-green soup
The world is hazed with peas
Both ever-green and bare branch trees
are tinged like pea-soup seas
Swirling, swishing
in this day’s breeze
Dancing and
swimming some
Pea-soup fog has drawn me
Has coloured me in . . .
the colour of my gardening thumb
