Santa Claus of the garden,
you bring snap of winter
to the mouth, crisp frosty heat.
Some call you icicle, watermelon,
breakfast, French, pink, orange, purple
(dirt had a real grip on that one.)
First greens after winter.
Speed queen of growth.
Don’t mind the frost.
Start ‘em the moment
you can work the soil.
Relief and delicious, all in one package,
Saint of the Spring garden,
Slick Nick just keeps on giving.
