Garden Party

The garden abounds flowers tumbling down from the trellis roses sweetly scented delicate pots strewn with colourful crown groaning tables are with flowers crested Plates filled with delicacies await vol-au-vents and laden pastries sit hungry mouths will eat and evaluate leaving behind scattered crumbs of wit Romances will flourish under the hot sun dalliance or two with consequences that appear in nine months to the ton causing aslant glances at the lapses Still the flowers bloom with vibrancy colourful petals gleam all waxy written 06/24/2014 contest Garden Party footnote Ton is another word for people from the nobility ie lords, earls and ladies

Kind of an early period soap opera. Very entertaining Shadow. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Rick.
