FEEL GOOD

  

In my garden fluff-heads and bald eyes

of dandelions stand high:

they have to, the grass is deep.

  

In my garden I have spies

in the periscoped butterflies

while I lie naked.

  

In my garden I feel good.

Buttercup and charlock stand two foot.

No prim daisy by my side.

  

Dates will drop from the dock leaves

and aphides give me milk

as I grow big and cool.

  

Soon the grass will be more.

It will hide the house next door.

Alan Marshfield
