Our Garden Is A Kaleidoscope Poem by Ana Monnar

Our garden is a kaleidoscope
Of colorful chrysanthemums
The November birth flower
Birthday of my oldest son
Full of joy, happiness, health,
Positive energy that flows
today and all the tomorrows
with success and love.
Orchids of various colors
Reflecting rays from the sunlight
The sun’s rays, the rainbows
…colored chips of glass
Changing events throughout life
As my daughter swims peacefully
Gracefully and glad
Representing beauty,
affection, love, and charm.
With roses surroundings
Each color representing
different effects
this June birth flower signifies
beauty and perfection
the birth of my daughter,
my middle child.
Symmetrical pattern
Magically seen
Through the kaleidoscope’s
Eyepiece that constantly
Changes the colors and patterns
of vivid succession.
Next comes the gladiola
The flower for August
Full of strength and integrity
With the shape of a sword
That will pierce your heart
With love that blooms
from my youngest son
that was born
on this blessed month.
There are also bright pompoms,
ferns and moss,
tones of greens
also, neighborhood cats
that we feed twice a day
then they lounge
in paradise among
the breathtaking colors.
Daffodils gone wild
With its bright yellow tones
My birth flower;
I’m proud to call my own
Rebirth, new beginnings
full of happiness and joy.
