Garden Poems | Examples of Garden Poetry

In the forgotten garden of my heart, you are the fresh flower that blooms, A friend who lights my paths when storms caress my soul, No matter how many winds blow, you are the unmovable rock in time, Beside me always, like a lighthouse in an ocean troubled by dreams and shadows. You know me in my deepest, most...

Take a moment, think— If there's a place we came from, mustn't there be a place we're going to? A river with a source must have a mouth to truly be a river— else, it’s a lake. So too, a life that has a start must also find its end to rightly be called a life. But surely, something must dwell in life for it...

The morning comes with smoke and ash, Where once her garden used to grow. My mother's hands lie cold and still— The earth has claimed what earth must know. She used to wake before the sun, To catch the light between her palms. Now dawn arrives to find her gone, And silence where she sang her psalms. The birds that nested in her...

Octopus hide in your sea garden Two tentacles bit by a marlin Afraid to reach out though never a doubt New limbs sprout, no better a bargain! ...

COME INTO GOD'S GARDEN Come into God’s garden. Come as you are. come with the broken, battered pieces that you picked up off the ground after fragile hands let you fall. Come into His garden with the remnants of what they left behind. Come into His garden with the outlines of what you will build again. Come stained, polished, put together, shattered. Come into His garden with every fabric of yourself. all that He asks is that you come. ...

15 minute city going down slow... 10,000 vehicles, everyone going Live in the bottleneck, nowhere to go. New coffee houses replace the old Old coffee houses now closed New owners can't speak English, Old coffee, new coffee double the cost Old sandwich, new sandwich Ten times the price of rice, well, Isn't that nice! No public restrooms, pay as you go If you have to pee,...

Golden sunlight, soft and bright, Filters gently, warm with light. Through the branches, high and low, Warming all the earth below. Azaleas blush in pink and red, Geraniums lift each vibrant head. Roses whisper, petals wide, Bottlebrush stands with crimson pride. Rhododendrons in magenta hue, Hydrangeas paint the world in blue. Zinnias sparkle, bright cascades, Marigolds glow in golden braids. Star jasmines mist the air with fragrance, Butterflies...

When eventide comes to enfold the light Cerulean haze slither into the spiraling sky While starlight speckled midnight's dainty face 'Neath the cascade of their aureolin glow The valley descends into slumber deep As lilting waves beguiled the crescent's beam Selene's eyes delight in these astral blooms Where dreams scaffold the myriad of stars Forged in...

It's a dirty little business And I've never stooped so low But if I stay here long enough I'll dig myself a hole There's trouble all around And death to be expected But the tools that I have found leave's a wound, that's undetected It'll take time for all to see What I've done here on this day 'bout the time that they take...

Love my small garden of fresh vegetables herbs and bright flowers tomatoes in baskets hanging painted bird houses a wicker table and two chairs sanctuary peaceful and calming I can spend hours and hours reflecting life And kitty loves it as much as I do she likes to lay on the balcony on her back showing her tummy then, she seeks the shade of trees sometimes, she is hiding I...

I'm dreaming of fairies Laughing in a glade of green Fluttering among flourishing blooms In their hidden mystic world Laughing in a glade of green Magic drifts on the cool breeze In their hidden mystic world They do as they please Magic drifts on the cool breeze Fluttering among flourishing blooms They do as they please I'm dreaming of...

One love, one life, one God, and one story for each of us. Love we each make our choices, who to love and who to leave. Some loves just don’t meet our needs. Some loves just can’t see, all that we need. Some are perfect, but are unavailable, because they are already in a relationship....

It stands tall proudly pointing to the sky reaching high toward the sun with hints of purplish blue peeking through Buds open ever so gently cautious shy and humble unsure at first of their regal stature unaware of their innate majesty The iris parades its generous petals ample and graceful floating graciously with carefree elegance Poised amidst the garden the iris is remarkably unaware of its astonishing beauty...

I didn’t plant that garden tree But thinking, I just let it be I knew I should have cut it out But felt within to let it sprout And so, as seasons came and went I pruned this tree, its bole I bent Around the gable of my shed But left the limbs above my head The years passed by and I...
