My Garden

Looking out upon my garden on spring morning dew on grass, new shoots appearing natures best daffodils, tulips, primrose, beautiful new life dawning pollinators emerge collecting pollen after winter rest evergreens coordinate with shade loving flowers finding shelter in herbaceous borders, glorious thoughts, aromas, wildlife reproducing new life shafts of light creating shadows, expecting showers seasons of change, pleasant celestial rays notorious for encouraging wonderful blooms and loosestrife, my old garden swing so inviting, comfortable perch to rest my weary bones upon while my eyes delight at natures wonders, shaded by my giant silver birch potted Japanese acer so elegant sweetness and light return of perennials as Mother Earth becomes warmer sweet smelling Lavender, colourful penstemon, sun loving helenium, gorgeous variegated geraniums bursting into life invigorating garden transformer rainbows of colour from blues yellows to salmon old English roses perfume able to fill stadiums so joyful now my garden is in bloom colourful and bright with aromas from honeysuckle and Jasmine at night. Composed on 02/04/2017. Contest ode to flowers.
