Pleasantries In the Garden

PLEASANTRIES IN THE GARDEN how pleasant old woman... he gently pulls her walker on pieces of broken stone — a path into the shaded woods. how pleasant in conversation, slowly sipping the afternoon. the path leading to the koi pond — kin exhale onto a benevolent bench. how pleasant of first contact inside the bonsai gate, the flora ...the mini woods with fairies, fostered with tea bag fertilizer. the conversation of strangers, who meet once beneath the heavens. my impression of a sweet rose scent... yay, from the garden, but also the guest. 5/11/2018

A pleasant reading as it combines old age and a garden that both spell tranquility dear, Kim! Poems like that I understand very well as I am reading them sitting in my garden!

This poem gives the reader the luxury of the slow pronounced read. You cannot race through it, and I like that. Very well done, Kim. Hear. Hear.

Very sweet, Kim. Don;t tell anyone but I have been known to help the elderly with their walkers. I suppose my cane puts them at ease:)
