A sore thumb amid a green thumb
Hitchhikes through life unnoticed
Until a bright light picks him up
Plants him in a thriving garden

Laurie, this is so clever. I like the way you begin and end with the homonyms. I will have to take a gander at the prompt over at Real Toads.
well done, as always!
I'm with Mary on the clever use of homonyms, but my fave line is the third: such an excellent image!
Thank you... I was so inspired by this prompt!
A simple idea can move a community. Thanks for sharing, Laurie! Beautiful verse!

A great play of language, Laurie! You are so very creative!
Sounds like a fine place to be planted!
Wonderfully done, Laurie. I also like the homonyms, but also the sore thumb and green thumb.

I enjoyed the reading so much, I read it again. Good job. :)
Wonderful response I agree. I like it shortness and conciseness. And I truly loved the phone box as library.
