The Garden Vestibule
By Franklin Price
(inspired by Bob Vanasse)
4/12/2017
The grapevines are returning to the garden vestibule
A rebirth of the Springtime, shortly after April Fool
Time for the English Garden that we promise every year
Boundaries set for quite some time, the end result not clear
Time to define the area, put new flora in the ground
To blossom for enjoyment, beauty for the eyes abound
Retrieve the treasured potted plants, stored from the winter's cold
Place them in the garden too, watch their wilted leaves unfold
Gardening brings comfort and peace of mind for us
A place to ride safely within , not underneath, the bus
I hope you have a place yourself to plant annuals anew
With spade and inspiration and much enjoyment too
It may not be a garden but please don't be a fool
Find a place of peace for you; your own garden vestibule
