Re: A Poetic Day in the Glory of the Garden

Sing sweet notes, oh pure ebony bird

Awaken the glory of the garden

In the dawn of a summers morning

Catch first rays, oh myriad of flowers

Reflect the glory of the garden

With your rainbow filled display

Billow from capture, oh Egyptian sheets

Fly in the glory of the garden

Release your fresh air of cleanliness

Throw water droplets, oh bubbling fountain

Cool the glory of the garden

In the peacefulness of your pool

Seek the seductive nectar, oh Painted Lady

Pollinate the glory of the garden

As you flit from flower to flower to flower

Purr in rhythmic sound, oh rolling blade

Highlight the glory of the garden

In long swathes of alternating green

 Parasol of leaves, oh Walnut tree

Extend the glory of the garden

In jade-speckled sweeping shade

Raise slowly to lips, oh china cups

Relax in the glory of the garden

Complimenting the lightness of sponge

Busy yourself in loyalty, oh worker bee

Penetrating the glory of the garden

In servitude to your reigning queen

Run home from school, oh children three

Revel in the glory of the garden

In tee-shirt, shorts and cotton dresses

Swoop in lightness, oh glossy swallow

Feast on the glory of the garden

With tail streaming agility

Fall sweet and soft, oh shower of rain

Refresh the glory of the garden

With purity of glistening silver

Sneak cautiously, oh red russet creature

Visitor to the glory of the garden

Relish the scattering hand of kindness

Snuffle the earth, oh spiny urchin

Feeding from the glory of the garden

On a plethora of invertebrates

Glide silently, oh ghostly bird

Across the glory of the garden

In just a whisper of a breath

Hush now, oh sweet fragrances

Dream in the glory of the garden

Embrace the warmth of a summer’s night

Lovely, gentle, heartfelt poem Calico :-)

That is lovely.  Hope your little ones grow up to appreciate nature so poetically! =)

Thank you both very much for your appreciation - nature does the hard work I just harness it for a wee while
