In The Garden~

In the garden, there are plants.

Sweet, yellow flowers summon ants.

Rich,thick soil surrounds them all,

What once was a seed is now lush and tall.

Carrots, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes;

Parsnips, peppers, broccoli, potatoes.

Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew;

Gooseberries, black caps, and an apple tree or two.

Daisies, mallows, tulips, pansies;

Roses, snapdragons, lupins, elegant day lilies.

Hummingbirds, butterflies;

Bumblebees, dragonflies.

In the garden, true beauty dwells.

Pure Nature's magic, no illusions or spells.
