Earth Day, the day where nature is king;
Or queen might be more accurate.
Of backyards green with flowers and trees,
I am an avid advocate.
 
Planting things is my therapy
My hands itch to be in the dirt;
And where there’s no ground, I have some pots
That stark deck to garden, convert.
 
A big tree grows right through my deck—
Or rather, deck circles the tree;
This is the perfect place to relax,
As sun sets, that’s where I will be.
