Serenity’s Garden Party… The sun shone bright and called to me Whispering low, “Come; see Serenity, A garden for poets and artists to eye, Something that even may make you sigh.”  So I went to the compass for direction, and more, And found some peace near heaven’s door. I gazed at the benches and imagined the chatter Of poets and friends, over various matters.  The Sun said, “Come, and stroll with me, Just be quiet and see what you see…” So can you imagine my child-like delight To see the swallowtail come and alight…  With colors before me, my breath, it was taken ~ For too much stress leaves the body forsaken… I’m glad I listened to sounds of the Sun And thought of my poets, each, one by one…  And then Mr. Buckeye did the Cottoneyed Joe, His partner then left, but he stayed on, so. I winked at him and he posed for me, And said, “Say Hi, to Serenity.”  Serenity surrounded me in whispered delight, A garden she found, hence peace, this night; And as for me, my poet friends… Listen when Sun says, “Come here, round this bend….” |

"round [the] bend" and "serenity" in the same poem! There must be some mistake. Heh. |

*smile* I've just finished participating a fashion with my neighbor-ladies. (We call ourselves the Uterless club.) But yes indeed--I am preparing for Saturday's Garden Wedding! It ought to be lovely...so please know although I'm "in and out" here, I'll be thinking of you and your ever lovely poetry.  |

I always wondered what went on at Garden Parties. I usually just go to pick weeds, although, it does give me time to think, (mostly about weeds) Love your poem Tracey. |

Oh, what a lovely garden party, dear Karilea! I know I would enjoy to participate in this gathering of poets and artists, among natural gifts of wonder and with Serenity being at her top as "conductor" of the "sounds". Can we please tell the flower fairies to gently invite the mosquitos to take a loooong nap while we enjoy togetherness? Love, Margherita |

Karilea, this is beautiful. It does indeed look like such a serene palce to be. |
