A Plant Update And Another Thank You~

A Plant Update and Another Thank You~

//A non-poetry post

Hello, hello!

Thanks so much for 75 followers! As I've said before, I appreciate that you've taken the time to read my writing and stuck around for future posts. I'll keep on doing my best! I have some poems lined up for this week, so I hope that you enjoy/resonate with them~

I mentioned in an earlier post that I started growing some small plants. As an update, several of the seeds that I planted have sprouted (but I don't have any flowers yet). Watering them is one of the first things that I do every day, and since they first started sprouting, they have looked different every single time. My ever-changing (albeit tiny) garden has given me something simple to look forward to every day since it's different each time, and I definitely recommend starting one as a little summer project!

I hope that my blog grows as well as my plants have (they have leaves already, which is exciting) and has some flowers soon (cheesy, I know).

Anyway, thank you (again)!

Sending good vibes to you all,

Poem: Leaving

I thought of you again last night -

Amid the darkness at the time,

And with my half-awake mind -

Because you left a note

Where you knew I’d see it,

And in time, I finally did.

I’m leaving it there, and

I’ll pretend not to have read it;

I don’t need you to haunt me

So long after we ended.

I don’t want to think of you

With guilt at what I left behind.

We both knew that things

Between us weren’t right;

Don’t give me so much grief

For leaving you behind.

Poem: Sleepy Me

A Haiku

A busy bee and

A sleepy me - neither of

Us can fall asleep.

Poem: Bouquet

I’ll sow the seeds of love

And treat them tenderly

In hopes that flowers

Of affection will bloom

In your heart someday,

And that you’ll feel inclined

To gather them into a bouquet

That makes you think of me.

Thanks for Reading!

Hello, hello!

Today my blog reached 50 followers! This is (very) exciting for me, and I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to read my poems and choosing to stick around for more. (Special thanks to @poetryportal and @writerscreed for the reblogs and mentions, which helped me in reaching a larger audience!)

To celebrate, I posted three poems. I hope that you like them! Also, my asks are open (but I prefer obscure asks if it's something about me)!

I'll keep writing, and I hope that you'll keep reading!

Thanks again!

Poem: Waiting for the Rain

I sat waiting for the rain to come

Because the rumbling of thunder

Seemed to come from just beyond

My door; I expected the darkness

Of the sky to produce some kind

Of downpour, but none came.

I sat waiting for the rain to come

And wash away my expectations that

The sky would stay so dauntingly gray;

That life would be this way until

A wave of relief flooded it; that I

Would continue to spend my days

Like this, waiting for the rain.
