A Love Bright Garden


from the ABC set Poems

I know three comely misses
named April, May and June;
with tulips, they blow kisses;
with blackbirds, whistle tunes.

And over hills and vales, each wears
a long, green velvet gown;
their eyes, blue skies; their long blonde hair,
the sunshine streaming down.

They call to me, “Come wander.
Come dig, my love, and sow”
and so, I must go yonder
and, a love bright garden, grow.

Thanks, Jennifer.

I think that the modern world too often separates us from Mother Nature (and each other) but I feel a very strong emmotional connection to nature and try to communicate it in whatever way I can think of.

Glad you liked it.
