Garden of Pleasure

Please step into my garden it's very dark I know
the lights through the red roses will soon glow
Come smell the trumpet lilies make your senses twirl
table set with red gingham amongst the roses that swirl
through an archway where a twin seat is placed
Tea lights adorn every spare space
The rice salads look inviting, along with the rest
BBQ chicken almost ready, will taste the best
amongst  the beautiful  impatiens of every hue
table fountain tinkling simply to relax you
Sit back with a glass of sangria in your hand
Gentle Viennese waltz transports you to another land
The visual impact of my garden is surreal 
the white pots of Busy Lizzie do not look real
Lamium spreading in the garden bed to enhance the view 
My garden is for pleasure, come your invited too.

thanks Jan yes it is looking quite pretty in a natural way. I don't like manicured gardens. ...Seren
