Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Cottage Garden Flowers

Sue made her bouquet from cottage garden flowers
To find matching blooms took her several hours

There were nine pretty roses in a shade of pale gold
Such a delicate fragrance they’re a joy to behold

Lilac and lemon freesias looked so bright and gay
They’d bring subtle colour to her pretty bouquet

Baby’s Breath added a touch of creamy white
Those tiny flowers are such a charming sight

Sue looked radiant with a bright beaming smile
And held her bouquet as she went down the aisle
