Best Seasonsgarden Poems
On my lilac tree the tender buds awake
Breezes upon the bending branches break
Sunshine glistens on the garden snail
Across the path he's left his sticky trail
Air fresh from weeks of winter rain
Green now where the snow has lain
A yellow daffodil bobs its pretty head
Standing sentinel by the garden shed
'
Purple violets bloom again this year
Never planted, yet like magic, reappear
From the window I quietly worship spring
Winter quit, waiting for the thrush to sing......
For the Spring contest....
I get up early to till the soil
Spread the cloth to stop the weeds
Carefully lay out and plant the seeds
Knowing the result will be worth the toil
I wait as patiently as I can
Watching for weeds like a hawk
Stay out of my garden I squawk
Everything's perfect according to plan
Days go past incredibly slow
Always looking for that flash of green
Only the weeds have been seen
I keep waiting for my garden to grow
Frustrated I purchase seedlings as a jump start
I plant them in even rows nice and neat
I water them carefully and talk to them sweet
They droop and they wilt, just breaking my heart
Though I treat them with the greatest care
My brown thumb shines no matter what I do
And nothing ever survives the season through
This is the way my plants always fair
