Notes About The Poem

The Garden of Eden

Desert Botanical Garden - Phoenix, AZ

Come and find me in this garden;
   I know not where the hours go.
Palm fronds brush against my cheek -
   Lone toadstool, blush of mallow.

They say this is the Garden of Eden -
   Rocks of lichen, red yucca.
But I think this is probably heaven -
   Birds-of-paradise and vinca.

You will find here a green shelter;
   Shade fills the inner sanctuary.
Canaries whistle o'er yonder -
   Dew drops on a banana leaf.

Let's be as kids like we once were;
   Take my hand, let's go find its end.
Make a wish on a four-leaf clover -
   White passion vine, black-eyed Susan.

Heaven can wait if we persevere.
   Let my bosom be your headrest.
Morning glories open to the day;
   Sure feels like we're heaven-blessed.

Daniel Henry Rodgers December 12, 2023 at 10:41 AM Amy your poem is a serene and enchanting portrayal of nature’s paradise, where the lush imagery and gentle rhythm invite the reader to lose themselves in a world of tranquil beauty. It’s a lyrical invitation to rediscover innocence and wonder within the embrace of an earthly heaven. - Blessings, Daniel Amy Michelle Mosier January 16, 2024 at 3:50 PM Your name sounds like a poet's name, ha!
