marigoldsA Poem by Marshalla stray row of marigolds defied autumns call straggled along a fence leading to a gate where a burlesque woman spoke gently to a cow. the brazen marigold patch clung cleverly to the winds shadow and stayed put until sons in seeds matured and laughing at the woman fenced in by the cow split its pods and withered as winter clutched the surrounding grass verge and neatly stapled fence posts at internals as sturdy as the seasons the seeds burrowed deep and waited for spring to pull the tender hearts from the earth learned from its parents. spring will have a bigger clutch of marigolds this coming sunshine. Author Notesso is life. clinging desperately to the fateful fence, braving all distractions. the young and restless will inherit the earth. © .
