THIS POEM ~ Is presented in a Modern Style ~ We are telling it like it is with no flowery or superfluous foliage ! However because we are *Performance Poets* it has a strict meter and verse structure. Three octets in 8 8 10 8 10 8 10 8 meter. There is some incidental rhyme ~ but no strict rhyme pattern. Love BRIAN & ANGELA.
I come to the Garden alone
While dew is still on the Roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
Creations joy discloses !
Now we have got our first Home & Garden
With Trees & Flowers resplendent
And a veggie patch ~ what more could we ask
The experience ? Transcendent !
The Garden ~ is great for Smokey
Safe place He can roam on his own
Waterfall gives the sound of the country
It feels a pollution-free Zone
The Birds all come down to the Pond to drink
Smokey watches but dare not touch
Our Garden ~ microcosm of NATURE
There is no Rabbit in a Hutch !
You*re nearest Gods heart in GARDEN
No Bells - Smells - Stained Glass to distract
Our GARDEN shows all of Gods Creation
Every day ~ what more could we ask !
We*ve got Trees an Oak an Ash ~ and a Pine
Slippery Elm Tree ~ that hard to climb
We*re not overlooked its a Paradise
Smokey will scare off Rats & Mice !
