My Garden in Fall, by Mark Kovelan

What was I thinking! 
Last Spring when starting seeds 
That those cute little rascals 
Would outstrip my needs 

Fending off rabbits and deer 
Pulling weeds by the ton 
Sprinkling and feeding 
The work’s just begun 

A tsunami of produce floods in at all once 
More coming today! 
Cukes, Zukes, Tomatoes and Kale 
I can’t give them away 

I’ll fill up my freezer and can some jars 
Finding some space for all I can stash 
Next winter when I look through my mail 
Seductive seed catalogs will head for the trash 

Mark Kovelan, Spring Green
