somethin I wrote a lil while ago I want to share. enjoy! :)
The Planter. It was not her real name, as nobody truly knew it. They simply called her by what she did.
She lived in a small cottage on the outskirts of town, surrounded by colorful flowers. Anyone within a few feet’s radius of the shoppe would be enveloped in their sweet, airy aroma. There were all shapes and sizes, some so tropical and foreign that it was a wonder they existed at all.
As for the woman herself? Her skin was a gorgeous ebony, matching the color of the soil that so nurtured her plants. Her coily hair was a cloud around her head, and was always tucked with flowers. The eyes set in her round face were a soft but brilliant green.
She had a gardener’s arms, strong from carrying pails of water to the greenery’s beds. She was not extremely tall, but slightly more than average, and sturdily built. When she walked she was light on her feet, almost as if dancing across the ground.
At least, these are all things I have heard. How much to believe, I do not know. I have never been to visit her before. But don’t you fret! I’ll come her way. I will- I must. Today.
