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 !

John Watt Date: 1/23/2020 11:51:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 1/24/2020 9:12:00 AM 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
