Spring In My Garden** Poem by Milica Franchi De Luri
Spring In My Garden**
The golden daffodils gleam in the sunshine.
Their bobbing heads are gently dancing in the breeze,
glancing at the tulips; plump and red, like red wine
standing still beneath the naked trees.
Dutch irises are bursting out in sparkling color,
like grand ladies; with poise and grace,
dressed in scented blue velour
enticing me; come and paint this blooms of finest lace.
Entwined crimson camellias hedge
is drooping it's velvety petals.
Spreading red carpet on the ground
with out making a sound.
Only the drunken bees are making fuss
'cause the shy violets
full of pollen and delight
are hiding their faces in the toll grass.
Above my head, wisterias blooms cascade
in elegant purple, milky pearls
like in some enchanted wonderland;
ferry princesses jewels, matching her golden curls.
Every corner of my garden is a mantle of glory;
The grass is greenly glowing,
fruit trees profusely flowering,
confetti of blossoms like snowflakes falling
In all this beauty, in silence i stand and stare
as the birds song fills the air.
In my garden of peace
my busy hands never sees.
it is a lovely time indeed just as your poem captures...here in Brisbane too it's just glorious and I'm moving around as busily as I can in my garden, when I have the time in these Spring evenings...

Hi Milica - I love this poem. You are a very talented Poet and use classical forms - like Villenelles - very expertly. This poem contains stanzas (seven quatrains) rhyme - rhthym - metre but ised in a very free and flowing way. I am a PERFORMANCE POET and in order to deliver it to my POETRY GROUP I had to practice it several times (with a tape recorder) to capture the flow. In the end I treated each verse as self contained - like individual HAIKUS. I have just been outside walking in my SPRING GARDEN and it is very 'erratic' and yet the whole is a perfect 'visual poem'. So the conclusion i have reached is that if your poem was ordered into strict metre and a consistent rhyme pattern much of the vibrance - and Spring-like character would be lost. One ofthe rules of poetry is to never sacrifice CONTENT & EMOTION for the sake of rigid hrythm and rhyme! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing I hope you agree with my prognosis. Love in poetry - JOHN
