Poem Artwork

 

 

 

 

In the garden, beneath the arch

 I heard your wistful voice

In the dancing wisteria

I knew it was your voice

 

  Your gentle loving voice

 Telling me to use an edger

Rather than the spade

 

  Sunday afternoons were

 Spent In the garden

Gardening at our leisure

Such memories I recall

Recall and treasure

 

 Your gentle breathing

 Is the springtime breeze

I touch the winding wind and

Listen to your wisdom


  Life is not bricks and mortar

 Live life don’t be a supporter

Leave the leaves to leave

Cultivate and flow with the flowers

I love the second to the last stanza... Your poem floats on the wind, just as her wisdom does. Life isn't in the bricks and mortar, it is in the warmth and love that surrounds us.

Love the gentleness and wit of this, Andy. Your voice is the breeze which you emulate with soft, loving repetitions and concentration on your subject - together with the hard-edged wisdom of the edger, not the spade! Delightful, delicate humour here. Very Zen with the final stanza of exhortation which bids us flow with the flow-ers... Neat! So this is what Chrissy's garden looks like now?! :) Very NICE!! XX

You struck the gardener in me with those poetic words "use an edger rather than the spade." Couldn't get my groove back, so I left the leaves and left. :) Delightful tale.

Advice for everyman Andy. Importance becomes so relevant as we slowly acquire the wisdom of just living life every day. May peace and love be always with you. Jon Michael

For some reason I don't like Wisteria. It seems to remind me of a funeral or something like that. But I like your poem's Springtime flavor and the wonder of just enjoying it all and not so much trying to build castles to your name.

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
