Notes About The Poem

Just thinking about sitting in my garden in summer. Can't wait.

My Garden At Night

Sometimes late at night,
When the moon is full and bright,
And the air is cool and crisp;
There's a breeze like a pall,
That seems to cover all,
And the moonlight falls like a mist.

I look out on the scene,
And it seems like a dream,
In which fairies flit to and fro.
I watch fire flies float by,
Bringing light to my eyes,
And making my garden glow.

Oh, Judy, I am as enchanted by your garden as I am by your gifted pen. Thank you for bringing me to the center of your scared space, especially magical in the moonlight. I have a backyard garden that inspires me as well, and like you, I can't wait for summer to sit outside and enjoy it. I admire your rhyme scheme and adore your beautiful poem. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
