A Garden Planted With Love

I have a little garden that I love, where the many plants of my childhood grow; (I did this to honor mother above) where flowers flourish like a wild meadow. Where the many plants of my childhood grow, there are petals in every sweet hue; where flowers flourish like a wild meadow, there is sweet nectar for bees to go to. There are petals in every sweet hue, I love how fragile butterflies hover; there is sweet nectar for bees to go to, while butters' caress blooms like a lover. I love how fragile butterflies hover, sometimes a bright hummingbird comes to whirl; while butters' caress blooms like a lover, where the many song birds sing, swirl and twirl. Sometimes a bright hummingbird comes to whirl, (I did this to honor mother above) where the many songs birds sing, swirl and twirl, I have a little garden that I love. _____________________________ July 29, 2020 Poetry/Pantoum/A Garden Planted With Love Copyright Protected, ID 20-127-424-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, Petal, buds, blossoms, bees, birds, butterflies! sponsor, Silent One Second Place

Gina, thanks for the compliment, I never realized how much I learned about gardening by following my mom around her garden helping her (it was huge) but I guess it sunk in because people always my garden is beautiful_ Constance

I'm sure your mother is honored by the colorful variety in your garden, Constance. Your repeating lines are employed skillfully and I wish you well in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Carolyn, my mother had a huge garden and taught me about planting, I promised her I would always have a garden so I do it to honor her. I find Pantoum a bit hard to write, hope I did it right, thanks for visiting _Constance

Beautiful sights and sounds in your garden and a special place for you to go to-- for it evokes memory of your mother. Great flow to your pantoum, Constance.
