Nasturtiums

I want all my nasturtiums to flower at once.

Not next week, not tomorrow, but today.

I want to see them all flower-gold, orange and red.

In masses of colour, and happy reassurance

of more colour tomorrow.

I've carefully weeded my new garden bed,

And planted nasturtiums- gold, orange and red.

Scattered the seeds all over the soil.

But oh, how difficult it is to wait

And be patient, until I see

Life, full of nasturtiums-

in wonderful, flowering shades of summer.
