Elephant ears

There are at least two ways to go with gardens...bigger or smaller.  I*m thinking bigger.

The rhubarb is a patch
Of elephant ears,
African elephant ears,
At one end of
What used to be
The garden bed
Until the boards rotted away.
Now it slides to lawn.
The ears flap
I can hear the elephants
Trumpet a call
For containment.
The boards come twelve feet long
At Home Depot.
I think a garden six by twelve
Might work to contain
The elephant ears,
The elderberry and more.
It might give all of us room
To play.
