Love the repetition in the first and last stanzas ("Things are busy these days"). I appreciate, too, the pause at the end of the second stanza. I pause with you, as you consider what to uproot. I smile at each plant that is named: "motherwort," "mint," "months of tea," "stalwart, lonely strawberry." We need more gardening poems. Great work, Tyler.
