Fill an Empty Meadow

I have an empty meadow I would like you all to fill.

Plants mainly, but you could include a poem about a stream, animals and buildings if you like.  As long as my meadow becomes full of life and interest.

I like the idea of Chinese and Zen gardens.  Berry farms, orchards and babbling brooks.

There are no boundaries to my meadow and what it shall contain.

Go forth and create...

RULES are the usual for my contests:

  • No dIrTy PrEtTy wRiTiNg
  • Swearing to a minimum
  • Please comment on each other's contributions, so that we encourage, NOT discourage the poets here in All Poetry

I look forward to seeing my meadow Cool
