No Lawn

I’d rather have a garden than a lawn-

that waste of land with boring grass upon.

I’d make a winding path through fruit and veg

midst flowers, arbor, pergola, pond and hedge.

Food for the body. Flowers for the soul.

A harvest to share would be my goal.

My Paradise on Earth would have no lawn.

(Shelley Wilson- Aug.25, 2019)
