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!
