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.

Contest ode to flowers.
