Notes About The Poem

     Grandma's Garden by Alex Krajewski

Her Garden Aglow

Her garden adorns a rush of flowers across a patch imbuing blossomed grace— enticed is she, despite the close of hours as Grandma sows roots with her warm embrace: The obedient morn floods dewy gold on cycles shifting from autumn to snow, where jasmines, mums, and peonies unfold while dimming eyes flash from new buds, aglow... Till glory of sunrise hallows the leaves, forgetting old age now weighs on her sleeves. ~o~ For Dear Heart's Garden Contest Rhyme: ababcdcdee 6/11/2020

Your image certainly reminds one of grandma's garden as well as that of Old Lizzie Gale who lived down the lane! Well done! Aloha! Rico
