Who would have thought that
A simple garden shovel
Could be so helpful?

It not only digs,
But can help us to focus
And to be mindful.

Look at its handle.
The wood has patterns in it;
They are beautiful.

There is even a
Hollow part to rest your thumb —
How convenient!

Its blade looks quite new.
The blade and the collar are
Made from stainless steel.

Although it’s shiny,
We can tell that it’s been used.
Now let’s get digging!

I like to experiment with different forms of poetry, as well as some flash fiction.
