Sara Kendrick April 30, 2021 at 4:29 PM I like this one that is so descriptive. I used to have an aunt who said in the winter I don't need any perfume and in the summer I just pin a Gardenia on. I really like the photos as well. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara Tom Cunningham May 1, 2021 at 3:24 AM Thank you Sara, your welcome. Spring is now well underway here. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

Sam Kauffman July 2, 2020 at 12:03 AM Back to say congratulations on your win! Sitting here with a band aid on my index finger after going a couple of rounds with one of my rose bushes. I can empatize with you on rose wounds! Tom Cunningham July 2, 2020 at 4:30 AM Thank you Sam, but aren't they worth it for a bit of blood. We had to get rid of a lot which was a shame. Tom

Aditi Mishra July 1, 2020 at 12:31 AM Tom this is such a pleasant haiku with your words painting the fragrance of roses in summer garden. Really soothing words. Congratulations on your win.

Jennifer Proxenos June 30, 2020 at 2:02 PM In an English Rose Garden (' never promised you a 'Rose Garden') by Lynn Anderson who died recently but you managed to made an English Rose Garden sound heavenly and vividly splendid with your poetic talent Tom. Good luck in the contest. Blessings, Jennifer. Tom Cunningham June 30, 2020 at 2:46 PM Thank you Jennifer, I remember that song well, I didn't know she'd passed away. We have a few roses but nothing like the picture. Tom

John Watt June 29, 2020 at 3:10 PM Tom, in my estimation, there's no garden like an English rose garden. You have brought to life the sights and scents so well.
