Notes About The Poem

Submitted to the contest: Away in a manger contest - rerun, sponsored by Jan Allison.

Away In the Park Garden

Away in the park garden
No pale flowers, only bright
Where senses sharpen
And worries feel light

The birds sweetly sing
In magnolia trees
A chorus with wings
Nature sounds appease

Chipmunks all scatter
Thieves of many seeds
With playful fun chatter
Now hiding in weeds

Bees buzz all around
Pollenating flowers
Fragrant smells surround
Grounds lush with showers

Oh Tania, you mesmerized me with your poem. Wish we had some rain here. But in Malta such is life. we grumble in winter and hate summer. Back to your poetry and may I congratulate you on the fine imagery. It is alluring. Hugs.

Parks provide a lovely place for people to gather and enjoy nature. A circus provides a service to make people happy. An asylum certainly provides a service! We wrote for the contest, and win or more than likely lose... we are supporting sponsors with every contest we enter. Poop on one who doesn't appreciate our efforts.

I've just read the Sponsor's blog and she mentions the park isn't retail or 'a service' shame as your poem is delightful.

Tania, Sounds like a fun trip to the park, watching the goings on of the critters. Wouldn’t even mind the shower since it’s been so hot here. Heat index of 113 yesterday.
