Green, so softly green does my garden grow
Dew drops in the morning mist appear to shimmer
captured exquisitely on a spider's spun web
Prisms of light dance in the sunlight that shows through
Sparkling diamond like across the lush growth as if
painted by glimmer.
Green, so softly green does my garden grow
Little gray green frogs playing hopscotch on
the fallen tree limbs
A baby Opposum has lost it's way...seeking
safe haven in my green heaven
Creatures big and small are drawn into my
little world of green only on a whim
Little green Lizards lie lazily in the sun's heat
As a little feral black cat tries to play cat and mouse
almost by my feet.
My friend the Peacock suddenly strolls by
causing the little cat to jump and fly
A Bluebird lands on a hanging basket, looking
for worms it seems.
Butterflies flit in and out - my little green haven
with life just teems.
I sit in meditation surrounded by nature's glorious beauty
Relaxed, refreshed beyond all imaginings....
Thank you Mother Earth.

What a beautiful scene I envisioned as I read your words......courtenay
I love this poem! I can really visualize your garden as I read this. Look, from time to time, I use poems like this to teach my 8th graders visualization, which they need for reading comprehension. May I use this? I'll email you!
What a grand dedication to the Creator for such a wonderous gift as this teaming planet. Speaks to the respect we all need to show for ALL life that connects us to life force that is Terra.
Beautifully Written! I very much enjoyed your imagery. Thanks.
