In Tune With My Flowers

The pansies together like gentle hearts Purples, pinks, yellows harmonize in spring A choir with violets, their counterparts, Throwing a glorious warm weather fling Sweet harbingers of summer make me sing My season of the year will soon arrive Coneflowers and daisies chant alive, My garden is singing all summer long If gladiolas and asters will thrive My garden and I will sing the same song. THIRD PLACE WINNER Written April 27, 2021 submitted to "Garden Inspirations" Poetry Contest sponsored by B J Legros Kelley

I'll join in with the chorus of compliments for this lovely poem Milt. Pardon the pun but a 'great arrangement.' Cheers - Gary
