Notes About The Poem

My Poetic Garden

In my silent sanctuary,
my poetic garden blooms like sun kissed seeds,
carefully placed under a quilt of soil,
sprinkled with holy water.

In the vividness of morning mist,
spring dew drops are like crystals,
sparkling on greens of grass,
ready to vaporize virgin fibers,
as I spill idyllic ink upon each strand.

My muse is an enchanted forest,
where blooming butterflies kiss blushing blossoms,
as my thoughts spread like perky petals,
in shades of amethyst, ruby and sapphire,
mirroring the illuminations of my heart.

I smile at April showers.
In each drop there is mercy,
as I believe there is an adversity in poetry,
where words form like the most vigorous flowers.

The Silent One

Love the imagery and descriptions. A perfect "gem" written by a great poet. The last phrase is so captivating. Words are so essential to share within the deep kindness often asleep into the depths of our souls. Thank you for sharing your poetry. Keep safe. Nature as it's best; smiling at April's showers.

Hello Silent. Yes, it has been such a long time. As a reader who could pass up your poetic title because it is poetic by itself. Your words carried the poetic elements. It was an honor to turn to your page this morning and see one of your entries. May this day find you well.
