Notes About The Poem

The Garden

The balmy fragrance invaded the spectacular garden
     A royal star magnolia in full bloom enthralled the central strip.
          Visitors felt elated, a sight no heart could harden.
                Onto a pond, a willow tree allowed its leaves dip,
                      Daisies, roses, lilies and yarrow enhanced one’s trip.

Such beauty and sweet smells, like the magenta-tip oriental magnolias you display. Victor may your gardens always stay as you describe them to us, sweet as your thoughts! A forever friend ~Anaya
