Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written - 2nd April 2025

A Garden Party

 Colourful fairy lights are glittering 
There’s a feeling of magic in the air 
Tonight we’re having a garden party
All friends and family are to be there.

Food’s cooking outside on the barbecue 
Glasses out and wine ready to pour
And the weather is pleasantly balmy 
Who could ask or wish for anything more.

No doubt there will singing and dancing
Beneath the moon and the stars on high
Memories made to last us forever
As the years steadily go passing by.

Excited guests are slowly arriving 
Greeting one another warmly with love
For sure it’s going to be a rave up
I’ve secretly hidden the boxing gloves.

David Crandall April 19, 2025 at 3:10 PM Haha, great poem. Sounds like a great time, and good idea to hide the boxing gloves! Beryl Edmonds April 19, 2025 at 3:50 PM It’s always a good idea, you never know when families get together. Thank you David … Beryl

Duke Beaufort April 9, 2025 at 10:16 AM Beryl, you've added a little note of humor at the end of this one. I'm thinking how wonderful it is to have a party and approach it without unfeasible expectations, but rather to just have a good time and enjoy other's company. You have a really wonderful attitude about life and it shows!! How lucky we are who understand what you are explaining between the lines. Smiles!! Beryl Edmonds April 19, 2025 at 4:01 PM Thank you Duke, there’s never a reason to fall out when the family get together, thankfully. Family is precious, I’m one of five sisters, sadly we lost one a few years ago. Smiles returned, Beryl

Panagiota Romios April 5, 2025 at 4:03 PM Beryl. This is an inredibly womderful write,And a FAV You really have an almost natural way of writing that people like me struggle to create. That doesn’t mean I’m putting myself down. So please don’t misunderstand. We all come here with our own talent as they are. Our own presient, our own past and experiences. so we all can’t write the same way or have the same values.. but you do a great job. I showed you that long time ago.. .thanks Pangie xx Beryl Edmonds April 5, 2025 at 4:43 PM Hi Pangie, so true we can’t all write the same way, never put yourself down you write as well as any other poet, in your own way, and it’s a lovely way too. Thank you and bless you… Beryl
