There Is a Dragon In My Garden

Carefully coiffuring the etiquette garden of the cascading words Trimming the elegant exuberant plethora of stumbling somnolent leaves Happened upon an opulent slithering serpent and some bees Hiding within the myriad of sublime transcendent trees Shrieking in a shrill voice a cacophony was heard And the shunned godly creature Slithered serenely from the place of my obstreperous yells And the words fell back into a peaceful tranquility and tune Excusing the moments as serendipitous and absurd But was harangue for no reason except tales of Slew (Foot) And went about my business without any further adieu Copyright @Bonnie Gay Jennings, or Bonnie Jennings or Boondoggling with Bojenn @Wordpress 2013 to present 2016 ~

Thank you, Alesia... And morning! i had to look up the word double-entendre and I'm still not certain of it's meaning and how I applied it (unintentionally) in my poem... But many thanks to you!

I absolutely love the wit and brilliance of this poem, Bonnie! And it also introduced me to new words, as well! A big 7 from me :)

Thanks Laura. The poetry exercise was to learn and practice new words... it is a great way to learn definitions...

Thanks again Walter... I wonder how many people know that "Slew foot" is another name for Lucifer? I see you caught it!
