Come into my garden
Full of beauty...
Tended with such care
Lay down all your troubles
Forget your woe's and cares~
Stop and smell my roses
Smell the fragrance along the way,
Let the walk calm and soothe you
On such a warm spring day~
Touch the petals of zinnia's
And smell the wisteria too
Let nature's creation
Lovingly embrace you~
So much beauty and grandeur
My garden is richly blessed
Its here that I find solace
When I need to stop and rest~

I want to visit your garden... I want somewhere to go where I can just put aside all my troubles and truly enjoy life. I need to work on enjoying what I've got, and I know that.
Your garden sounds beautiful, mesmerizing and enchanting. And the picture up there... I want to have one of those arch things with vines intertwining on it! I have been in love with them for ages... It's my goal in life, to have one of those (some goal, haha)

But I do enjoy a brisk walk through such beautiful gardens as you've so kindly brought to life within your words......thank you

takes a seat in the garden and smells all the purdy flowers ahhhh refreshing! Well done

very pastoral, and the verbal imagery is a nice match for the image you posted.
If I were to suggest any changes, it'd probably be to find a word to replace 'smell' in one or two places, just to avoid overuse of the word. (It's a short poem, after all. Two of the three instances are within a line of each other.) Replacing it with 'scent' in stanza 2, line 2, would probably make the read a bit more comfortable. -
Excellent! Lovely poem!
Loved the solace I found in your poem, Sis! This is beautiful! I can't imagine anyone refusing such an invitation! You always find such pretty pictures, too!
Love Ya!

Peaceful
Hi Susan
This is indeed a soothing write. One could almost detect a scent of flowers in the warm spring breeze. There is a vision in my mind now of ivy covered arbors and dots of color everywhere. Thank you for this relaxing tour of your peaceful garden, and thanks for the lovely comment on my write "Eight"

this is truelly a grand piece of poetry that you have pen here. i love it so very much i thank you for shareing it
-
Its very good... if you like Nature... then you'll most of the Romantics... they are very Naturey... if I could remember how to spell some of there names... I'd recommend them... there is always Shelley.... but he is a bit odd amoung them.. and his wife wrote Frankenstein... which is nothing like the movie oddly enough... Its a great poem... great flow... good structure... good use of words... I can't seem to offer any CRITICAL comments so forgive me for that...
-
Oh, yes. This is how everything should end. I love the simple, sweet touch of love that nature (and natures' creations) have to offer the human soul. Lovely poem and wonderfully rich scents created to carry one into dreamland.

This is very nice and gentle. Has a very comforting tone. I enjoyed it immensely and could picture myself strolling through a garden as I read it. Very nice.
