Rows of Brilliant Blossoms

My perfect garden has meandering paths
With shady benches along the way
Perfect rows of varying heights
Rows of brilliant blossoms
     Vibrant colors to stimulate my soul
            Laughter is melodious
                 Birds sing in beautiful tones
                   The azure sky, soothes my soul 
              A lazy swaying hammock rests in the corner
                  Tempting all who pass
The soil is soft and moist, no weed in sight



For A Rambling Poet's contest

Wow, Doris, wished I'd have a garden like yours! But I have only a rented flat and the garden area is too small for pretty flowers etc. Well written poem and good luck in the contest,,,Gert
