Bottle Garden

A bottle garden adorns like the most elegant rose
Horticulturists’ pride featured in most writers’ prose   
Crafted by the youngest ambidextrous botanist
Whose prowess blooms far beyond the cloud’s mist.

A terrarium intricately built from a crystal- clear bottle,
Coco fibers, variety of bijou stones, rocks and pebbles;
Charcoals, moss, ferns, tiny plants and worm castings,
Dry barks and many more for creative miniature gardening.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 7/23/2023 1:24:00 AM This is so wonderful! I once had a terrarium; it was a sweet gift from my older sister, it seemed so magical to me and I loved it very much. I haven't thought of it in years, thank you for this lovely poem of such joy! I am now very tempted to try to create one again, they are wonderful! What a happy poem this is :) <3 Login to Reply Len Gasun Date: 7/25/2023 7:49:00 PM Thank you so much my dear poet friend Bj for stopping by, reading my poem and your uplifting comments.

Susan Ashley Date: 7/22/2023 8:31:00 AM Dear Len, your poem is a delight, adorned with wonderful imagery. You capture the beauty of a bottle garden with charming ease. I especially liked the the phrase "ambidextrous botanist" and the use of the word "bijou". Best wishes for a win! ~Susan Login to Reply Susan Ashley Date: 7/22/2023 10:53:00 AM My poet friend, I am grateful and honored by your visits always.
