A Literation has never sounded better. This is a consonant buffet, an enchanting sound poem with more dips than Dr. Seuss. Line 3 you can delete (which) and go with the -Gerund VERB- FLUTTERING frequently from.....But what do I know...Beautiful as is...I know you turned heads in the contest...This poem blossoms & Blooms boldly......Michael E.

lovely write, my friend - so glad this was a big winner. i'm guessing Gertrude is Gertrude Jekyll? LOL, that's the limit of my horticultural knowledge!

- A wonderful poem, Jan ... sorry I have not read it before ... the crocus is a "strong" flower ... it even flowers in the snow ... it is one of the first signs of spring :) - Congratulations with your win :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I do remember gardens like this, but can not recall seeing one since honeybees did a flit, so you may have written an historic poem! Congratulations! Aloha! Rico
