Ode To Gardners

Plants and flowers,
Shrubs and trees
Warmed by the sunshine,
Kissed by the bees.

Ever growing;
Ever green.
Sweetest blooms
We’ve ever seen

Arrive in Spring
With each new breeze;
And dropp us faithfully
To our knees.

Carolyn - nice work on Ode to Gardeners!

One suggestion - use the active instead of passive voice

Dropping us faithfully
To our knees.................passive

We dropp faithfully
To our knees................active

Just a thought! Usually the active indicates action, doing something
Perhaps though you are overcome by the breeze and brought to your
knees by its emotional power?


Carolyn Brunelle (December 1946)
