The bleeding heart flower
Like a pendulum it swings
From a terracotta pot
Such beauty does it bring

The gardenia's waxy flowers
So sensual they are to touch
With a fragrance, oh so heavenly
I just can't get enough

My tree fern leaves
Arch out like arms
As they catch the wind
And all of its charms
The leaves are like feathers
Yet not quite as light
As they dance and they sway
In the sunlight, so bright

The parrots come to dine
On the feast before their eyes
In my apple tree they gorge
Before they take wing and fly

At my feet there stands an angel
Bringing peace and tranquility
As he welcomes those who visit
Giving much joy and harmony
He's the keeper of my garden
Such a beautiful figure is he
Bringing smiles to all who see him
And especially to me

I have two pink climbing roses
That reach out for the sky
The jasmine and wisteria
One look and you can't help but sigh
At such beauty taking place
In my garden by the door
There is nothing here that money can buy
How could I wish for more?

you know what this reminded me of? Fantasy island,... and the lil angel at you feet giving welcomes was Herb Villachaise...

a feast for the senses! truly awesome imagery and sense appeal... the part where the parrots dine actually got my mind on me dining... i'm off to get a snack!

a slice of heaven... calls for a kick back in a hammock...

Ethan - thank you so much for your comment, I must admit though that the little guy from Fantasy Island wasn't in my thoughts when I wrote that but now you've got me thinking...I may purposely have to include him in one of my poems!!

Cerenity - thank you for your kind words!

Irish Rose - Thank you so much for your warm welcome. This is one of many poems I have written about my garden and my garden does actually look just as I have described. I hope you enjoyed viewing my garden through my writing.

Kind regards,
Sue
