Bursts of blooming colors in my garden fair
every bud is beauty, born of love and toil
Rays of sunshine easy days and breezy air
cordial flowers flushed with color coil
Nature sings of all creation its here and there
a joyful world of wonder heart's embroil
Calliandra feather sweeps of angel hair
silver artemisias slick as linseed oil
Garden art, its all about the artist's flair
every shoot and floweret is alive with dare
radiant things growing on blessed soil
like cordial flowers flushed with color coil
Bursts of blooming colors in my garden fair
rays of sunshine, easy days and breezy air.
WHAT A GORGEOUS PHOTO! INDEED THE UTMOST SPILLING OF OUR CREATOR'S UNMATCHABLE ARTISTRY IS APPRECIATED AND EMBRACED AS IT SMOTHERS US WITH HIS GLORIOUS LOVE AND INSPIRATIONS... WITH EVERY MAGNIFICENTLY PAINTED FLEUR! AND THIS WONDERFUL SHARING IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. SO ENJOYED, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSSNGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
I love the color and passion of your garden of delights. And I find that last line so relaxing. Similar to the second line in the chorus of Stephen Foster's I Dream of Jeannie. "Floating in the breeze of the soft summer air."
Completely enjoyable — your lines carry for me the presence of this painting, alive-looking enough to be 3D. Extra effective that you repeat lines in this poem and the whole work works. There is so much presence in this that I can imagine the smell of earth (as in dirt, but dirt is too dirty to apply here) and of cut grass and of tincture of lilac. So you brought color, scent and sun into this Pacific Northwest winter. Very permeating ability — thank you! . . . djl

The daffodils in Tennessee by the roads are everywhere full of magnificant yellow beauty in their tender shoots and awesome shapes. It's a beautiful day here full of rural country, not a store for miles and I adore it. This poem of yours gave me a strong warm feeling welcoming in spring. Gorgeous!
