Very poetic! I am struggling tonight doing comments by cell phone. I don't know if it's because I am on my phone, but your poem seems formatted kind of strange. Look and see. Did u center it and some lines fell down to next line??

I'm thinking it was the way it looked on your phone...I've reset the lines to look good on my phone and it looks all off on my computer....

Very nicely written, rhyme is often a struggle for me, although i did just write one for this contest....yours flows beautifully~

Thank you Sandra. I've always avoided rhyme, so I have been working on them. Check out my monorhyme. It turned out very fun...I wish I may I wish I might...

I'm so happy you like it. I've tried to grow them in Washington and unless a very harsh winter, I've had success.
