Garden Lore


In my garden I so heard, so
thought I saw a humming bird

Garnet wings flashed so divine
while flitting round a trumpet vine

Very much to my surprise
a mystic creature graced my eyes

Monkey faced fairy, very tiny
wings a flutter, gloriously shiny

Gossamer wings put on a show
fiery skin was all aglow

From ancient times and ancient lore
not a stitch of clothes she wore

A magic pouch she did bestow
love's potion makes your garden grow

Very much to my surprise
became an orchid before my eyes
