Bad Dirt...

Bad Dirt

Was it the soil that was spoiled?
That's what she was wondering now.
How many times had she replanted?

How many flowers?
From seed, from bulb, from starts.
Blooms, maybe, maybe some growth

Leaves yellowing
Blossoms dropping
Shriveling and dying

She had tried over and over
Did they need more water?
Less water? No water?

Was it too sunny for that plant?
Did it need a shade lover?
Or was it the wrong season?

Now she looked at the soil
Was it spoiled? Poisoned?
Was there anything she could do?

She replanted. 
Tried again.
Maybe this time. 

What else could she do?
