Line Drawn in the Lawn

     by Diane Webster

 

Fertilized lawn

on theleft

mowed every

Saturday morning.

Automatically watered

every other sunrise.

 

Leaves raked

exactly to edge

almost like

catching snowflakes

mid-air

to prevent unsightly build-up

around

yard-of-the-month

sign.

 

Sometimes green,

sometimes brown,

rarely a height

to blur the line.

 

Let them fall

like rice

at a wedding!

Ankle deep in

rustling, tickling,

wind-blown confetti

begging for leaf angels

beneath arms

and legs flying…

 

flying across yards --

flags of surrender --

prayers for a Christmas leaf blower.
