In My Garden
Tiny green tendrils
Push through the earth’s dark, rich skin
They seek the sun’s rays
Roses spread petals
Accept dawn’s kiss with a blush
Welcome the morning
The sweet scents of Spring
Waft o’er my smaller garden
The ladybugs dance
Beads of dew roll down
Daffodils’ yellow trumpet
Dawn’s first offering
My Peonies are here
Four Full bushes of color
Entice the insects
Dandelions wave
Fluffy heads of seeds that fly
Wind-driven nuisance
Butterflies flit by
From bloom to bright bloom gently
A young girl follows
Beloved begonia
Tropical transplant that thrives
Shielded from sun’s rays
Red Azaleas thrive
Paper thin petals float up
The bees buzz along
Double inpatients
Bloom rose-like in petaled tiers
Belles of the garden

I am so tempted to pick one of each beautifully described flowers. But that is bad so I’ll have to stop myself. 🙂 Thank you for letting me ‘in your garden’. ❤ ❤ ❤

Beautiful collab, Ladies. Makes me wish I had just a tiny wee space for gardening. The image goes really well with the poem, too.

Welcome. And if I remember correctly you have a plant friend that refuses to die, regardless. A cactus?
