AUTUMN EQUINOX

Moon Phase

Waxing Gibbous

In the Earth sign Capricorn

Almost that date

To celebrate

Equal Days and Nights

And, only one thing is right

Oh, yeah, let’s plant

The healing-est herbs

Once called simpling

But now kitchen

Or, off-the-spice-rack

Check your almanac

To see what’ll grow

How about those

Sung in an Old English

(Or mid-20^th century)

Haunting Ballad

From those two harmonizers

Simon and Garfunkel?

“Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme…”

So I present you with a photo

Of my 20-gallon fabric pot

Home of my just-planted

Simon and Garfunkel Garden

And here is the song to

Encourage you to do

Something fun

To honor the harvest

Of sun

As our solar year

Winds down

Healthy and Happy

Autumn Equinox…
