Vine Veridicality

So then taking time out 

to appraise whether the 

effort of pumpkin fertilisation 

makes sense doesn’t faze 

me - the plants are from 

random seeds casually sown

My re-invention as a bee 

adds credibility to what might 

otherwise be disowned as a case 

of recidivous behaviour; okay, 

opportunistic maybe, but no 

knavery that I can see 

Then there’s the veridicality 

of at least six pods assaying proof 

they’re expanding rapidly - 

whether from my efforts alone 

isn’t clear - but no others 

contest it’s not the truth 

And forsooth - I count vine 

blessings dressed in a mode 

of bumper crop thriving in a 

spot seen easily from kitchen 

window - believe me, there’s 

hugely soothing comfort in that
