Lavender Gardens

O'er feathery clouds adrift a kite 
'Neath sway lavender gardens that invite
Embracing warm rays of spring sunlight
Pining for sweet afternoon delight
With glass of wine lovers reunite

O'er dreamlike blissfully scented sight 
The moon tiptoes up the sky so sprite
Till she gains apex above in height
Whilst I close my eyes to say goodnight
I tender my love dulcet good night
Spring lavender garden dreams take flight

Whistfully takes me to a middle English garden in a time that I never lived and I only know through other's literature. Loved the monorhyme, one of the few where the rhyme does not get in the way, if I might say. Terrific penning Line. Congratulations on placement and kudos well deserved.
