In the Garden - 18th August

Since we spend so much happy Summertime out in the garden or any garden-like place, this is the newest Weekly Theme:

In the Garden

[doreen23]

A summer Garden.

On a lovely summer's day
I see the beauty of a rose.,
and while the roses softly curl
the garden, bright in beauty grows.

Oh, so gently falls the rain
on lightly scented summer breeze.
The fragrance in the balmy air
is welcoming the honey bees.

In the stillness of the moment,
sun filled hours of summer days
with the warmth of the sun
means all is quiet in the haze.

Garden of Life

In the garden that life composes
Contains the fragrance of sweet roses
which tantalizes the essences chosen
upon life's highway so often frozen

Inside this garden we call life
comes at times with heavy strife
we learn to avoid the stepping stone
which can detour us in our roam

In the Garden

The birds get up before sunrise
And I want to follow soon,
When slowly blue skies radiate
In the West there’s a paling moon.

It’s magic to see the day awake
The dew-fresh velvety lawn,
While I walk down the garden,
With a happy heart – and a yawn.

So different seems everything
By the hot time after a light meal,
Somehow I fail the desire to work,
Better dream away ‘till a later zeal.

Mid-afternoon, weeding is done
Lawn’s edges now clear and straight.
I stop, the bells ring 4 o’clock –
“Will bring coffee my Love, just wait..”

Under the apple tree, a table set
Viewing the water-lily pond,
With scents of roses from the hedge,
Is the place of which we’re so fond.

Evening birdsong from the tree top,
Nature warm from Summer’s heat,
A lovely day spent in my garden
Is most precious, nothing can beat.

Dee & Mystic, in the three poems written by us I see 3 different views of life, all good in its own way. A pleasure to read your poems Dee and Mystic.
