Putting in the Seed

A friend gave m back my book of Robert Frost Poetry. For funsies I opened to a random page and I hit a poem and this is the sexiest poem I have ever read I think. I don't remember it being sexy before, but damn son! This poem is straight sex made through nature and spring metaphor. and since Spring is here, and I just planted one of 2 plant beds, I thought I'd share.

Putting in the Seed

Robert Frost

YOU come to fetch me from my work to-night
When supper’s on the table, and we’ll see
If I can leave off burying the white
Soft petals fallen from the apple tree.
(Soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,	5
Mingled with these, smooth bean and wrinkled pea;)
And go along with you ere you lose sight
Of what you came for and become like me,
Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed	10
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.
