Down the Garden Path

Dozens of gallant white tulips swooning Promising fragrant notes to ponder Fiery stains of red passion tattooed Whistling breeze freshens her view Last petal standing determines her fate Daisy has faith her true love won't escape A golden heart stems from his solid core She needs no reminding she's been here before Lilies devotion so luminous and pure Never flounder's nor dies it flourishes matures Each anniversary love blooms in delight Countless colours displayed in unique garden sunlight Rose picky so quick to sympathize Stands by her bouquet can't help but comply Strong and resilient her beauty mystifies One fragrant note you cannot deny Tulips they swoon they puff and they sway Gallant and fragrant their beauty displayed Flowers they flourish in our lives each day Love and attention is what we must convey

Really nice Carol. I like the way you wrote of the daisy ( with yellow center) "A golden heart stems from his solid core", really creative thinking :)

Thanks so much for being so supportive of my poetry. It means more than you know. All we can do in life is try to be the best we can be. I am fiercely loyal to those I love. I am sure I can still find room to improve but I sure hope those I love know how much I love them and what they mean to me. Lots of love to you as well! :)

This could be a garden of beautiful spring flowers or it could be the garden of life. Either way both will flourish from being shown love and attention and devotion. Sometimes we do neglect them though but hopefully we realize when that happens and make amends for our mistakes. Really nice Carol. I love a poem that makes me think. I also love the personalities you have given each of the flowers.

This was a very nice poem. I love flowers and like to talk to and sing to my plants. I think too often it is forgotten they are living things also. Thank you for sharing! Be blessed
