                                          The quaintness of my cottage
                                     Is idyllic in my sweet resting thoughts.
                                 My miniature garden rarely noticed by one
                         Is garlanded with fenced shrubs and flowery visions. 
                                           My orange clustered tree

                      My green walled cottage is sewn intricately with ivy

Alexis, when a sponsor asks to post a poem online, does it mean we have to post it elsewhere other than submitting for a contest? Kindly assist. I'm still quite ignorant and confused. And if one has to post elsewhere, how is it done? Thanks! Love, Balveen

Excellent, Balveen. Now, if you could just draw me in somewhere on that walkway, it'd be perfect! 7 from me for the artwork and the roses and honeysuckle.
