Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

Wildflower Gardens

Glossy, heart-shaped leaves of galax
ringed ‘round the lingering lilacs
that played across the garden gate,
bent now – bowed from foliage’ weight.

Wild roses replace Venus et fleur
having a sweet natural alure.
Chicory and Madonna lily
grow here and there, and willy-nilly.

Bachelor buttons and blue bonnets
clothe the field with unsung sonnets.
Coreopsis and black-eyed Susans
frolic with their rambunctious cousins.

Of all the flowers God has wrought
I love the ones that were last thought.
Haphazard flair of wild flowers
bestow joy with dewy showers.

Valsa George September 30, 2023 at 9:57 PM Even a wild flower is a marvel of creation and has its own beauty. From your lovely poem, I could learn the names of a few wild flowers, I haven't heard before. This poem is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Linda for shating this. Linda Alice Fowler October 1, 2023 at 11:33 AM I'd love to write about all of them Valsa, but there are so many!! Many thanks for your visit and kind words. :)

Jennifer Proxenos September 30, 2023 at 5:26 AM What a cute poem Linda, I love flowers that look pretty and always inquire at the nurseries whether they are summer or winter plants however I do prefer evergreen plants like lavender, roses, black eyed susies. Your poem for me bounces in the air feather light laughing and playing with us, the flowers inviting us into their world. I love your poem it is a fav for me. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Linda Alice Fowler September 30, 2023 at 6:54 AM I'm humbled and honored Jennifer. There are so many beautiful flowers, weeds, plants. They are all beautiful to me. This summer we had 4'-5' tall thistles - I'm sorry I didn't get a picture before they were gone - next year. LOL Thank you so much for your supportive words and fav!

Alfonso II Warally Ngengethe Mussabwa Chris September 26, 2023 at 6:03 PM Astonishingly how glossy wildflower gardens can be. No gardeners to cleaning and watering but still glossy in the eyes of many folks. God is always the Best. Glory to Him.... Well penned this magnificent poem. Linda Alice Fowler September 28, 2023 at 5:56 AM Hello Alfonso. Nice to see you today. I appreciate your wonderful comment. I agree with your appraisal of "gardens" without gardeners. :)
