Notes About The Poem

My personal vision of a bottle garden, which is something I never heard of before.

__________________________________________________________________

My Pretty Bottle Garden

Though impecunious at the time I was,
I just had to have a bottle garden because
I thought how beautiful a colossal one could be,
so I headed to antique shops and collected some for free.
I found at least 200 most sublime -
empty bottles which once contained fine perfume or wine.
I planted them around my yard neck up from the ground.
They sure look pretty with plastic flowers poking out.
