Constance La France Poet Pantoum

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.
