On my garden’s calls
She’s a siren, that Garden
Calling forever to preen
All her troops in unison.
Clematis, roses, fuscias, peppers
Beans and penstemons nod in unison
Herbs and cucumber sing a chorus
Nurture us
Talk to us
Sing to us
We’re your children too
I love this! Beautiful lyrical garden poem.
Thank you so much!
I love this! I used to be an avid gardener when I had the room! Great use of personification. The poem flows beautifully! The only comment that I could make is more a question about Syntax. You have some punctuation happening at the very beginning and then it ends-why? Beautiful poem! Well done! Maybe add to the chorus: Nurture Us! etc.
Thank you!
About the punctuation, I would chalk it to being the first version. I have yet to take my edit pencil to all my poems this year.
Thank you again!
This was my favorite of your works from this marathon
It’s fantastic and I love the personification of the garden. Especially the ending with “we’re your children too”. Also really liked “Cauldron of sanity” – Thanks for sharing your writing with us!
Thank you so much for visiting! Much appreciate your taking time to read my work!
Simply, beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Loved The line “Calling forever to preen all her troops in unison” A garden will do that. Beautiful!
Thank you so much! I feel my garden demands. All the time. hahah!
