A World Without Tomatoes
Garden Poem of the Day
Second Awakening
By Eva Willes Wangsgaard
Two springtimes in one year were mine,
The year that I went South in March
And watched the wild wisteria vines
Hang amethysts on every arch.
Camellias lavish in corsage
Bedecked my shoulder every day;
Azaleas' purple-red barrage
Was loud on road and garden way.
Then I returned to lilac scent,
To blossoming apricot and cherry,
To paths where tulip goblets bent
And splashed the rocks with porty and sherry,
And bluebells caroled doubly clear
The second time to greet one year.
