The Green Thumb Delusion

No, I’ve never been a green thumb,
I just can’t get plants to grow,
once I killed a succulent,
pathetic, I know.

Sure, I oft forget to water
and I keep them from the sun,
but ‘til the day I fade away
I’ll ever beat my drum,
that all my woe with things that grow
stems solely from my thumb.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
