The peace of the Lord
Inner content
Down at the bottom
Of a garden
Seeded and raised, midst
Each sunned ferment;
Meek herb's; baby's breath's. *
Joyed o'er of wren.
* Gypsophila
Soft baby's breath in prim nosegay
abandoned in a parking bay.
A whispered message left behind;
perhaps a gesture was declined?
An assignation underway?
Meet me, my dear, floor three, bay A;
I'll leave you there a small bouquet;
you know which, your favorite kind,
soft baby's breath.
Lovers, perhaps, the kind that stray,
who have to meet this secret way?
Upon the spray, a note thus signed;
my love for you is unconfined
I'll prove, with buds, I leave each day
soft baby's breath.
A delicate blue Daisy
Nestled between roses of pink and cream,
Held firm by pink love-in-the-mist,
Green foliage and tiny gypsophila.
Stems bound in hessian and ribbon.
Something blue in her bridal bouquet.

green grasshoppers- vivacious
gazelles
gaily observing nurtured
exhibits
gossamer winged butterflies
gracefully
signifying natures colourful
kites
gently touching floral
parades
perfumed yesterday, today
tomorrow
garnet geraniums
whimsical gypsophila
dainty daisies
ravishing roses
timid pansies
different poses
a gardens grasshopper showcase
