Suzanne Delaney Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

What Is Heaven

The art and delight of shade
expressions of gold buds bursting green 
untrimmed garden’s lush expression 
describe this eternal lease on passion 
Nothing is temperate about soul’s possession 
Mother said, “ Heaven is a Garden of flowers,
where we’ll always be beautiful.

Connie Marcum Wong August 30, 2019 at 6:53 PM This so lovely SuZ. Sorry you didn't have enough lines to have a higher placement. I have mis-read the contest instructions so many times, but then it is too late to change my words after the contest is judged. Congratulations my friend! : ) xxoo Suzanne Delaney August 31, 2019 at 6:47 AM Thanks Connie: I appreciate your encouragement always. Love SuZ

Michelle Faulkner August 29, 2019 at 3:28 PM This is like a garden of flowers, Suzanne, I would have placed it higher, but since it has only 7 lines instead of the minimum of 8, I had to place it lower, but really enjoyed it! Suzanne Delaney August 29, 2019 at 7:05 PM Thanks for the placement, Michelle: I didn’t read the rules closely enough. Enjoyed playing with it your words. SuZ

Eric Ashford August 14, 2019 at 7:33 PM Nice, very nice. Maybe heaven can be a small part of a garden or small part of God we see in a small part of ordinary life? Well crafted poem SuZ.
