Debbie Duncan Poet Quatrain

Secret Garden

How cool  ~
The secret garden. 
I have a key. 
Do you wanna go?

I wonder   ~
What should we wear? 
How should we dress?
When should we go?

I'd really like to stay.
That is if it's ok?
I would plant flowers everywhere.
With little gnomes here and there.

And make it welcome 
Just for my fairy friends ~
That would come by to say hi.
And maybe plant a fish pond.    

For the little Koi to come play.
From the babbling brook nearby.
Fragrant flowers for the bees passing by.
But most of all.

Within this place, I'd find
Tranquility with peaceful grace 
So every morning before  I start.
I'd visit that secret garden within my heart.
