Curves

Curves There is a path of violets that curves along A garden where I walk Mists abound as gardeners try To keep summer alive. There is a waterfall, and a curving bench Where I may sit and listen to its showers Drowning out the city noise, Oh, how I could linger for hours. Round beds tiers of circling curves, Colors of red, dripping ivy threads, Hidden curved benches for meditation, Colors and fountains for celebration. I want to go there this very day, Take some colors, paint and play, But life has its ways of throwing curves, Duties call, and I must serve.

Sounds like me. Although I am no good with a brush. We get wood pigeons and Tui's (nz native birds) in our garden. I also enjoy the odd win against the weeds. Household utensils often surreptitiously end up as weed removers. Excellent write that speaks to the reader and beckons them to follow the path and see what is round the curve. Your hiding place is safe with me. Regards David

A lovely little poem; just a little suggestion: could you just tweak it a bit to make the first verse rhyme a little better. However, really enjoyed the read - Most elegant! My very best regards, Sunlite. :) john

I never could hit a curve ball, My reason for not progressing at baseball. Priorities are only a good thing if we have them in the correct order. Lovely poem, Sunlite:) Happy New Year!
