A Garden Choice Review
Dawn chanced a lifetime free trial,
aged step heed, reflect takes a smile,
advent ease midst obliged swart rise,
upraised eyelids, greet resumed ties.
Askew motif skirts gracious sky,
root arbor involved climbs, brace I,
beg my visit be naught seduced,
by verdant needs that I conduced.
So that my stay appease awhile,
sense garden bear test and trial,
light bred butterflies freely pause,
sweet nectar kids air for a cause.
Circular flight, breath-taking view,
vultures outcast, humming in lieu,
buds mosaic film swaddled highs,
bristled piquant seeps amid byes.
Proud Asters craves near pergola,
challenged view graced Gladiola,
peaceful corner shrined Lilies grow,
pomp Peonies dressed, heels a row.
Daisies pray, tops gold masque faces,
dons Sunday whites, kirtled bases,
Roses steals random spendthrift rays,
soft fate spares prodigal scent sprays.
Cherry Blossoms sublets space loft,
Poppies darts to the sky, face waft,
Lavender peeks, probing yon fence,
while Stonecrops hugs, wholly dense.
Well-played Zinnias, grand casting,
and faint Hydrangeas lacks fasting,
Larkspurs cherishing stellar show,
pebbled stools crept patron burrow.
Daffodils ochers paired sunlight,
dreamt Gardenias sniffs midnight,
Buttercups box, a game of chess,
Meadows re Persians more or less.
Azalea teeming, Chives parade,
Orchids poise, Tulip's serenade,
spurns yon green Periwinkle blue,
sad bids my prized garden adieu.
