Microgreen, sprout, hydroponic,
Play peek-a-boo
On my indoor miniature farm
Translucent stem, true green leaf
Propagating, cuttings, one more time I’ll try the avocado
little glass jars on window seals, I am a grower
Post germination, I plant
Come May my world
Over joyed, greening
My efforts of fall spring
Forth seemingly overnight
Roots reach into the dark warming ground
Taking long sips of winter’s snow
Cotyledons hide in hope of sprouting
Oh my comfort, my delight
Mighty Mycelium, and Mycelium
Food in the making just beneath the soil
Oh the delicious anticipation of you
Reaching toward the light
