2000 Poetry Contest - Honorable Mention
>>could you please dedicate it to Sarah Archibald. Thank-you. 'My Garden is Lovely' will do for a title, I think.<< Changing the title should involve changing the name of the page from "untitled," shouldn't it?

Untitled
by Richard Hutchinson (SEAMUSTHEDOG)

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.
