Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Garden Tales

The tale of my best is yet to be told
  For the best is always yet to come
  But one of my best that won the gold
   Takes place in a garden where beauty never grows old

 The seeds of this poem, planted by my muse
  Grew into flowers as the words I construed
  Butterflies played in this garden I chose
 And flowers danced happily to the whisper of those

 The words started flowing faster than I could write
  The muse would not stop till the words were just right
 I stopped for a while to see the flowers I chose
  And to my surprise I had left out the rose
 So I ended my poem with the rose as the queen
  And crowned her with beauty in a garden serene
                                     --

Andrea Dietrich March 15, 2017 at 3:22 PM GREAT how you approached this contest, Joseph. WELL DONE. I think it can place! When I post mine, you will see it might not place since I cannot remember anything about the time I wrote my "best" poem! Joseph May March 15, 2017 at 5:45 PM Thank you Andrea..Not sure if it will place but if it does, great
