Laura Leiser Poet Abecedarian

Zen Garden

Around beguiling courtyard 
                   dwell elegant flowers 
                        growing hither 
               in joyous kindred loveliness
            moreover newly opened peonies 
            quietly ripple softly to ubiquitous 
               veritable winds xenial, yet zen.
