2000 Poetry Contest - Honorable Mention

My Garden is Lovely
by Richard Hutchinson (SEAMUSTHEDOG)

Dedicated to Sarah Archibald.

My garden is lovely,
It sings with rosebuds
And smells summer sweet.
I cannot hear the world outside;
I only hear the sunshine
Humming a gentle song
Of bumblebees' love.
A long winter past
And long labours spent.
These barren beds are budding,
My apple trees bear leaves
Promising a kiss -
Golden and delicious.
I see colours with a smile
I smell pollen with a sigh.
My garden blossoms
Under a clear blue sky.
