Hump Day Poetry is a weekly poetry blog-share every *Wednesday*
Here’s how you can join in
The rules:
1. Write a poem (any type of poetry, even for other challenges) You have from Wednesday to the following Tuesday to link up!
2. Grab the badge and display it on your blog to show your support.
3. Link it to my poem of the week with a pingback or by leaving the link to your poem in comments.
4. Visit other bloggers’ poetry for that week. Like, leave a comment, and share! (Please try to visit as many other poets as possible. Keep the community love flowing!)
Note: to create a pingback, simply include the url of this post somewhere in your post. Please check my page to ensure your pingback has posted. If not, it is either awaiting moderation, or the pingback failed (happens sometimes!). To ensure your post is seen, you may want to just add the link to my page. I would rather have duplicates than not get to read your poetry!

And now for my poem of the week….
Tangled Roots
~for Lisa D.
from tiny seeds
spark life
new beginnings
yours and mine
bulbs blossom
reach for the sky
our roots, tangled
together, as one
even the Gardener
cannot separate us
