Garden Fairy Bright and Glary

Garden Fairy Bright and Glary
Garden fairy bright and glary
Your floral displays glow 
With velvet irises kisses
Having you stood on tippy-toe
Where glorious irises grow.

Mother Goose Grows Up Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Miranda Hawley

 *+*+*
 
Nursery rhyme chosen to grow up is…

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row
And pretty maids all in a row.

Sotto Poet Date: 5/24/2023 11:52:00 AM This is such a beautiful metaphorical poem, Belle. Your beautiful word choice and vivid pictures have left me in awe of your writing. Your literary skills have added even more splendor to something that was already rather lovely. I hope you have a lot of success in the contest.
