Today in the Garden, Kerry challenged us to write an open letter and turn it into a poem. I had many ideas, but this one kept nagging at me. I thought I would share my letter first. I think it explains my poem :D
Dear World,
Did you hear, Mother Nature has gone gaga over a Toad. He is from Houston, Texas.
I guess his name is Sander. The word is he's her lucky charm. I heard he is a few cards short of a deck, lol. What a guy!
I guess she is addicted to gambling... Did you suspect? I guess it is Black Jack. No, not Jack Black, tee, hee. I heard she is tossing Bleeding Hearts . Have you seen the size of those Spades?! They like to drink n' play Gin n' Rummy. I am not one to gossip... I know you are thinking, what is the big deal?! Well, she is gambling on our weather! Didn't you think it was odd the whole 52 weeks in a year and 52 cards in a deck? And 4 suits=4 seasons. I know she holds all the Aces-it is sick! And let's not forget the Joker we get every March, in like a lion out like a lamb?! Yeah, guess where Stephanie Meyer got that idea! Yeah, March and April all about the Ides and a Fool.
And did you ever wonder about the #21?! I mean there are many clues, our seasons tend to be announced on that day. Yeah, her favorite number and game! All these signs and we were clueless. Yes, the first day of a new season and she n' Sander are off. I just wish she would be above board. Maybe she will be kind and pull an ace up her sleeve. We might get lucky and get a sunny day! Let's hope she is careful with those wild cards. Maybe, just maybe we might get lucky in spades. So, far her house of cards has been dreadful. I just wanna warn you-I think she is wearing her Poker Face.
Sincerely,
Eco Ella

my poem:
Bleeding hearts
follow suit
wild cards marching in
on the Ides
charmed green velvet clubs n' spades
surface above boards
Magic act too soon
April's Fool shows up to juggle
Presto
Lambs Ear bit
by Jack Frost
Mother Nature's
rules
we gamble
do what suits us
She in turn might toss
us a
Wild card
It is time to kiss
the Blarney Stone and a few Toads!
