A Garden Party

The sun is shinning and the breeze is a blow, my table all white with lace in it's place and tea cups in a row. Fresh, red watermelon in tiny scoops with triangle cut orange marmalade sandwiches lined in the shape of a loop. Hazelnut butter and apple jam adorns thinly sliced ham. A lovely little teapot with yellow roses painted on it's stem, gives a flowery glow to this day's trend. The lavender in the garden is all a bloom with fuzzy, yellow and black bumble bees kissing it's plumes. Ivy canopied along the gate, all this green makes me feel so alive and great. This day is filled with family and friends, a wonderful time watching the children play, I hate to see it end. Bluebirds are perched on the window seal and then in the back ground I hear a whiperwhil. Butterflies gliding through the air, just like us, they haven't a care. The ladies talk of all that's new and gossip silly little tales the whole day through. Clouds passing in big, white, puffy hues and perfectly shades the court yard's designed clues. A garden party, its always a treat, a place where after the flower garden walk, you can sip tea, have a laugh, even tell a secret, a true friend will keep and a place in nature you can rest peacefully, your feet.

Thank you and no I wasn't going enter the contest for I have never done a sonnet before, wouldn't know where to begin but I do love the title so I thought I would try my hand at it and see if I could come up with my own Garden party poem.
