Flower Garden

Asters litter beds in rainbow colours Berries red and black slowly growing Clover adding bright patches of green Daisy's dotting the rolling lawns Enchanting us with their beauty Fox gloves waving their wands of trumpets Gerbera brightly show the sun their faces Hibiscus blown by gentle hot breezes sway Irises joining in glinting and glimmering Jasmine flowers spreading out profusely as Kale fish swim in the pond flashing colour Lilies floating gracefully give them shelter Mums giving ground cover to the rolling banks with Narcissus poking out between them while the Orange hues of asters are a delightful background for Peonies some tall most very short nestle beneath Quince flowers, still their tight buds vie with Roses stately and wafting perfume clouds around Snapdragons closing their petals over insects Tansy's rarely seen now a days, here do thrive and Uniformly line the garden paths whilst timid Violets of deep purple shyly peek out and the White tulips dance amid the rest under hedges of Xylosma giving height and deep shade for plants Zinnia's with rings of colour exploding 04/24/2014 by Shadow Hamilton contest What's in your garden placed 1st

Hello Shadow, you know what I hate most, when I'm grading a contest, and a poem, blows my mind... At the very moment, I want to fly and comment that poem, while the feelings and my expressions, are still fresh...LOL...I don't think you know what I mean... anyways, that was then. No worries, I'm still in awe's and this poem, was my number one, and I so so so freaking love, everything about it... The ABC's going down, the imagery, and ECT.. I LOVE EVERY THING ABOUT THIS POEM.....LINDA
