One Hundred Thirty-Six Pretty Petals

Inside twinkling eyes of nights bloom
          Garden flowers whisper
      Peeking through tree branches, heads nod
         Vines twine graceful arbor crown

              Rows covered with pretty petals
                   Faces of sunflowers
                       Dream of tomorrows honey bee 
                          Sleepy yawns of sweet peas

                      Early morning darkness shrouds daisy
                  Happy go lucky petals
              Spin cartwheels across the night sky
          Honeysuckle smiles grace fence

             Veil of mist twirling through hearth
                 Maiden’s shy smile sleeping
                      Exuberant gaze waiting brightly
                           Bluebell colors swirl
              
                         Dew drops dripping off Iris tongues
                      Moon beams warm tulips
                  Kiss of starlight rejoice each rose
              Pepper nasturtium petal

           Under Hostas' green leaf shelter
        Nestles dainty slippers 
           Woven of heaven’s sweet scents
                Garlands adorn the sky

                     Pirouette back down to earth
                         And open the garden gate
                              Dawn’s an hour’s chime away
                                    In mystical days of June
