Song to a Succulent

Behind the tray of homemade brownies in my local coffee spot
Above the sack of washed arabica, the terracotta pots
Your nascent tendrils slightly spiraled, like a verdant Mandelbrot
I don't remember my companion, but he drank a double shot

Cameraman, zoom in upon my super succulent
And linger there a moment
When you wish upon a tuberose
Your garden grows
Sweet firmament

Visitor, be careful of my precious succulent
Its vascular component
When you wish for golden ratios
Your garden grows

I got you home, I cleared a space beside a copper paperweight
Before too long, a crowd of onlookers began to congregate
You must believe I love you so, though you may not have fronds or spikes
Because when I upload your photograph, you always get the likes

Cameraman, zoom in upon my only succulent
And linger there a moment
When you wish in bedroom studios
Your garden grows

Green growing sentinel
September sunny spell
Let's wait for rain to gather

Green growing sentinel
September sunny spell
Let's wait for rain to gather

Come and say hello
