Oh, Delightful Retreat- Cl

Imagine a perfect garden, and with all its imperfections; beauty and decay . . . its burden, yet, with lovely recollections ! The bees come and make selections., of nectar . . . buzzing their jargon; and birds fly from all directions, and hummers' never say pardon ! _____________________________ January 22, 2020 Poetry/Lay/Oh, Delightful Retreat- CL Copyright Protected, ID 20-1218-714-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay sponsor, Charles Messina First Place

Constance, I know you are a bird lover so this is only fitting. Love all the garden references, and good job with the tricky rhyme scheme! GL in the contest with this lay poem - it should be a winner ~ John

John, you are write a bird and flower lover, all nature really, and yes I did find it a tricky rhyme scheme, but hope Charlie finds my poem worthy of a placement _Constance
