Constance La France Poet Light Verse

My Dappled Garden

On my porch garden I have planted herbs and flowers,
and it is there among the green that I find my inspiration; 
it is a place of deep contemplation, peace, and tranquility.

I have worked hard to create this sanctuary of quietude,
within a sun dappled spot with a table and chairs for tea;
where I am sheltered from wind and I can write all day.

A yoga mat ends up a sleeping mat for kitty cat-
Oh, in this lush green blooming space I find serenity;
and thoughts come to my mind and flutter into words,

that drip from my pen.
