Glad Shouts Poem by Edmund V. Strolis

Glad Shouts

Rating: 5.0


What a wonder is a garden
Reflecting the hand that lays the seed
Like snowflakes no two alike
The tender of these children always present
If only in signature splendor

She traces clematis like bridal veil
He in turn the English Ivy upon the shaded wall
A lavender wave sweeps her pathway
Locus float in the pond by his window
Willows sway by the bench where they meet

A garden of appreciation to share
A place to understand and nourish roots
A way to remain forever young in their eyes
A reminder of gifts born of loving effort
A union of glad shouts of laughter

A poem to nurture the heart and soul on cold winter days. My father spent all his free time in the garden that was the hearth of my life as a child. I had some amazing conversations with him in his beloved garden.It was most certainly a place to understand and nourish roots this lovely poem revived those memories for me. Thank you Edmund

A place to understand and nourish roots....a garden does have a magical effect. So much beauty in one place. But the best thing is that it's not just about beauty, but the way we tend to the garden is how we should nurture love so all could be happy. A great descriptive n metaphoric write. A10.

A wonderful poem of love. I especially liked the first stanza. The ideas and images presented paint and image and plant an idea.
