On this spring day- the sky is azure blue, the creeping pink Phlox wants to cascade down; pretty striped Sweet William seek to spread too, in my Zen garden there is not a frown ! My herbs Rosemary and Parsley, Basil, and Oregano whisper- water please; we want to grow up strong and to dazzle, oh, how we love swaying in the soft breeze ! My hanging pots hold twining lush green vines, tangled emerald tendrils soon hang low; they grow wild and never held to confines, I give them shade and they give me no woe ! Bees come drifting and we never say shoo on this spring day- the sky is azure blue ! ____________________ May 07, 2022 Poetry/Orphan Sonnet/My Zen Garden Copyright Protected, ID 05-1455-151-07 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Orphan Sonnet sponsor, Emile Pinet, Judged 05/30/2022 Third Place
