Notes About The Poem

"And the birds twitter like whispering violins." 

Quote by Me

_______________________________

Garden Whispers


          they talk under their breath, murmuring
       and the wind sighs and whispers
my garden speaks softly in the rising sun of dawn
in low voices they hum and thrum calling me
          come-  see how green and lush we are today
       see all our brilliant magenta blooms
     and the deep purple and yellow trimmed petunia
the herbs grumble we are beautiful too_
and I go-  still in my night clothes on tip toes
          touching the fragile leaves with love

          I whisper to each and caress them
       do you need a drink-  I mumble still sleepy
oh yes, please they grumble (so spoiled)
and the sun bursts forth and we turn our faces up
          and the wind sighs and whispers
        I let them drink from my watering can
      as they drone a morning song
but they rustle with anger when kitty cat bites a leaf
oh no, no kitty_  I whisper, leading her
         to her very own painted pot of oat grass
