Mystery Garden

After buttercups came daisies,
exquisite floating garnet hibiscus, 
iris, jasmine, kooky little marigolds,
nasturshums, orchids, petunias, roses, 
sunflowers,trailing varicolored wisteria,
xerophites, and yellow zinnias.

I am not to hip to the different stlyes of writings in regards to poetic forms? I have never felt the need nor desire, to fit the mainstream formats of certain things within the world!? But, I know beauty when I see it! And, this write here dear Barbara, is filled with beauty, reflecting upon a heart I believe, that is very lovely indeed!~"Wonderful Write Dear~Love Always, John!"~"Happy Holidays!:)
