Last 2015 pome I could find, unless I dig out birthday cards to himself or Soeur

 

Pome for a Fig Tree        (6/16/15)


When you were small and potty bound,

I tried to think of where in ground

you might do better, thrive and grow,

and make it through the wind and snow.


Have never yet decided where

although i really, really care,

so I have put you in a pot

that is much bigger than a lot.


Now I see you've grown some buds

that may turn into figs, not duds.

At least there is a teeny chance

unless gets "et" by birds or ants…


I'll water you 'bout every day

while you are in the figgy way.

It's hard to give birth to a fig

that's hanging from your little twig.



*2020, figgy’s in the ground out front. Not enough sun, but we get 4-5 figs a year from it! She’s much happier now, with some black-eyed susans and echinacea nearby.
