Tri-Authored Garden Poem

This is a poem written by a couple of friends and myself about a garden. With the common theme of the garden we took turns writing one line after another, not seeing each other's work until it was complete:

Roots stretching into the earth drink in life

bulb and seed, hidden deep and sent, but asleep

Society of coloured races race to breath the living air

We are fed from the dirt-real life into our bodies

Buds, full of invisible verve

Mighty green army thrusting green blades deep into the air

My hands touch the benefit-seed has become nourishment

All this remains incipient Eden till actualized by tongue and teeth

Floating on the ground cloud, rising to the lonely mouth, filling and running in.
