 The gate creeks rusty on its hinges As I pass through The bower where in rosy clusters Wild roses climb old walls now decked with vine Tall grasses, tangleweed and ivy Conceal the lovely flowers I once knew A moss grown pool Where water-lilies blossomed Tousled weeds with honeysuckle intertwine A cool wind passes through the garden Rustling dry leaves from the cherry tree Mingling with ghosts of many voices That echo on my heartstrings poignantly.... |

Dear Katriona, I entered this magical garden with you and enjoyed it deeply. You painted it with enchanting vividness and it became a real experience. Simply wonderful! A place where Nature gains space ... Love and hugs, Margherita  |

For some reason, that picture goes perfectly with this beautiful poem. |

SAVED  Oh, Katriona, this is superbly magical! I once had a secret garden, as well. But, alsa, it was unceremoniously bull-dozed to the ground. Your poetry ALWAYS touches me deeply. I lost my secret garden when I was but a teen. Since then, I have found some special places in a forest ~ but they too got torn down. Well, at least I have a secret garden in my heart and no one can tear that one down! Thank you for another exquisite penning!   Linda |

I wore the book "The Secret Garden" out when I was a little girl. I loved the story and the thought of discovering a garden - a secret. Wonderful poem. Alison |

Dear Katriona, you have written some beautiful words to add to that lovely picture. I love roses, especcially climbing roses, in fact climbers of all sorts. Love to you my friend. Lindsay |
