My Poetry Garden

This is a garden of sunshine granted each an escape from our everyday trials. Where sadness, anger, or lies aren't planted because we all need a garden of smiles. Where are poems found in this garden? A few where Summer leaves barely a trace. Some on life's dusty olden path less taken or on a wagon wheel sorely misplaced. I found several on butterfly's wings; A short one atop a ladybug's back. A Haiku found on Japanese maple. In a rose garden, you'll find a whole sack! They nibble nouns on lavender leaves often spied sipping the nectar of gods. Their words elfin messages in the sand or hidden among weaving goldenrods. They're where sprites play tag in the tallest grass where crickets and grasshoppers sometimes sing; and faeries dance from midnight till way past, leaving faint notes written in fairy rings. You'll find poems among soft cloud faces They catch a ride on drops of summer rains. They sing in spider webs' lyrical spaces while lady spiders spin lacy refrains. Garden faeries write words with flower dust sending them whispering into the wind. They toss and float til finding verbs to trust so poetic thoughts may, at last, begin. Words from my memory of poems I've read are blossoms to be treated tenderly. The thoughts they evoke are poems just bred and add emphasis to poems to be. I hope you'll enjoy my poetry garden and find a few blossoms waiting for you. If I left the rake on the walk, pardon-- I had some synonyms to attend to!
