A Time For Planting

by Tim Fleckney   Sep 15, 2006


Burying the remains of
A long dead lover in
The garden out back

I hope I'm in the right spot

Last time I managed to
Dig up some old remains
I just had to laugh
Really not so funny but
It was amusing to see
How poorly she'd aged

The holes most likely deeper
Than it needs to be
But I hate it when they
Come out at night and
Try to seduce me

I never mark the site

That would invite too many
Questions I'm not
Prepared to answer just yet

I'm sure no one
Suspects anything

Although my girlfriend
Did look at me kind of
Strange when I said
I was admiring my
Flowers and thinking
Of her the other day

    Superb!! I love your creativity... A wonderfully done, humerous piece. They just have to be laid to rest sometimes, those awful lovers :D

    Oh you funny guy, what a cute poem... unless it was suppose to be in the dark poetry section... or the sad poems section... or the life section... or even in nature poetry. I hear tell, it's good for the soil.

    I won't tell if you don't. Thanks for the laugh... I think.

    I'm not so sure this belongs in the Funny section, as much as it does in the Friendship/Family section. Beautifully done. Somehow they always come out to haunt us at night...wandering about, creating a ruckous. I love it.
