In My Garden

In my garden flourish many blooms that make me feel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . GOOD
Among them thrive those lovely ones I've named as my best. . . . . . . . . . FRIENDS
Come rain or shine, those special ones stand, brilliant where they. . . . . . . ARE
Some blooms, though sweet, don't bring me such delight. they are not. . . .BRIGHT
It's only in fair weather they emerge as sunshine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FLOWERS
Others dull and some with drooping petals, I can see . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .IN
my small park, and though each blossom has its place, it's still. . . . . . . . . MY
colorful and cheery friends, the blooms I most admire in my. . . . . . . . . . .GARDEN


inspired by Dane Ann Smith-Johnson's "End Line Word" contest

Inspiring lyrics Andrea :-) Gratitude for friendship in a beautiful flower garden ...a true blessing. Your heart shines in this magnificent piece. It's touching how all different types of flowers make one lovely joyful garden. Nature teaches us a lot through your golden pen.:-) Gorgeous writing. lynnxxx I'm curious if there is a poem form name as it is incredibly well crafted.
