A Garden

All things kaleidoscopic

What an awful eyeful! Topic:

Meld an awe-inspiring dream

with ‘A Garden’ for the Theme.

Here are plants I like to find

as I search rooms in my mind.

Snapdragon, Rooster Comb, Daylily,

Pansy, Nasturtium, Peony,

Blackeyed Susie and Sunflower,

Morning glory will embower.

Violet and Chrysanthemum,

Mayapple and Trillium.

Begonia and Hollyhock;

Bluebells line my garden walk.

Daffodil, dank Marigold,

Zinnia and shrubby Rose.

Iris, funny Touch-Me-Nots,

Spider Lily, Mums in pots.

Tulip, Phlox, and Clover red

round out beds within my head.

All these sights were planted there

by ‘my gardeners’, kept with care.

I was wee e’er I espied

Blooming, colored plants’ high tide.
