If life were a garden................
Mine would be lush and green,
Filled with roses of remembrance,
Snapdragons for my children,
Lillies of the valley for my teardrops
Tulips for my friends, each a different hue;
If life were a garden.................
Mine would be warm and sunny,
Rich with love and friendship
Ripe with fragrant blossoms
A rainbow colored tapestry
Of intricate design;
If life were a garden.................
Mine would be constantly changing,
Young buds beginning their journey,
Climbers extending their reach,
Mature flowers basking in sunshine
Older ones dipping their heads;
If life were a garden...................
Mine would be short on regrets,
A few scattered weeds to remind me
That nothing is perfect by far,
And raindrops are part of the growing -
My flowers bloom best where they are.

Midnight, WoW! This piece flows, and flounces, like silken drapes, against a fresh spring breeze. Your product quality, (since you retrieved your lost pen, which you only found, after i prayed to St. Anthony for 40 days & nights) is more than impressive...and this particular piece borderlines the threshold of my definition of ''Accomplished Work'', something most all of us, including myself, in particular, are yet to achieve.Outstanding example of Contemporaryn American
Poetics, my dear! .
Misplace yir pen again... and you're going to have to deal with my saintly friend Tony....all by yourself....and you know how angry Italians can be!

A vibrant array of thoughts and images planted by a fertile imagination - the reference to the snapdragons took me straight back to my childhood - and have inspired me to plant some in mine.Thanks for this uplifting poem full of the fragrance and colour of life. justine. |
