Time was nigh as far
as her plan of starting a
garden was concerned
She didn’t deviate from
her plan one bit despite the
proffer of a team
She made sure to clam
up the others saying that
it was in her mind
Once the idea
germinated in her brain,
they met as agreed

hmmmmm don’t know if you meant it this way….but for me the garden is a metaphor here. For me, I read this as a powerful woman who has thoughts and ideas and knows how to put them into action. Maybe I’m just thinking this, relating to RBG’s death and all the accolades for her….she persevered.
And if you didn’t mean it this way….well, I’ve always said the mark of a strong writer is when a reader connects with the writing…makes a leap to meaning. And you’ve certainly done that for me with this one!

I see the garden as a metaphor for love, marriage and family. I like the link between garden and the idea that ‘germinated in her brain’.

I like the strong independent feel in your poem. A woman who knows what she wants and does not let anyone’s opinion deter her!
