Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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.

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

Miranda Hawley June 5, 2023 at 7:08 PM This nice little parody reminded me of a nursery rhyme that is not often included, and that was good enough to win in my contest. Congrats!

Sotto Poet May 24, 2023 at 11:52 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.
