Proposal Poem by Rachel Butler
Proposal
(Dedicated to the unknown gardener)
My most earnest and strongest desire was to perceive with mine eyes, my love, in this event.
Antecedent to him I lost all cognition. In awe,
meek before him.
Unable to conceal the passion that smouldered in my heart,
perplexed and befuddled.
Bespeak, Not a solitary word,
voiced or in my mind.
Sparrow

I worked as a gardener for quite a while and I wish I had worked for someone like you. You are the only writer I know of who writes about gardeners, with the possible exception of D. H. Lawrence.
