The Shovel In My Heart Comments

I shared your poem on my Facebook. I find the writing very touching and well done. I want that magic shovel in my heart... Not figuratively, but for real! ! I've written and read many poems about gardening and you captured one of the reasons that people garden and made it into a beautiful metaphor. Such a tangible implement, a shovel makes your writing about abstract concepts (sadness, heartbreak, love, hope) very concrete and tangible. And then the last two lines pull the poem together beautifully. This is a special poem.
