My Palette
by Lisa Wilson

I am no artist
with pen or brush
I have no ounce of talent.

but with trowel and plant
held in my hands
the earth becomes my palette.

I love to grow
neatly in rows
or scattered hither and yon

A plant, a tree
and on my knees
the flowers become my song.

2001

All of the flowers were grown
and photographed by Lisa.
