In the garden of my heart,
I am planting seeds of love.
In the garden of my mind,
I am thinking thoughts of joy.
In the garden of my soul,
I am singing songs of peace.
my body is the temple,
for all I bring within.

HOODWINKED !!!
This poem speak to me in a quiet shout, We are so much more complex than first glance may tell. We have been blessed with eternal souls. We plant seeds not just for a lifetime but for eternity. Well done!
You have been Hoodwinked by your Bandit Family because WE CARE!

You have been HOOD WINKED by The Poetic Bandits - wish you well after your accident and hope there are no serious after affects. This is your day in the spotlight. Enjoy. Like this poem you have written; very metaphorical and easy to read and understand. Works well in these couplets. (See I commented on this one before.)

I apologize if you thought I didn't read your rules, when in fact i did. My poems seems to be 8 lines, but shows it is 14 in poetry lines on the right side page of this poem, which are different than actual lines. I'm sorry you disqualified my poem due to this misunderstanding.
Peace

This is easy to read and understand, the body is the receptacle for all these things. We chose what we bring into it and what we give out as well. Liked the flow and the message you share with readers in these lines.

Beautiful and precious...I have read this a few times over, it just keeps making me smile and sigh...you start and end in couplets though, so I believe it would read good if it were couplets all the way through but that is just my thoughts
Overall this poem is endearing and a delight to read
Love and smiles

Expressive and truly emotive in the same regard. The imagery is amazing! Beautifully done!

This is a wonderful poem of devotion (or that is how I read it) ... I really love the simple way you have written this, not hiding behind waffle ... amazing write!
Stay smiling and keep writing

I love the couplet theme going on, it worked very well
But the little 3 liner in the middle worked equally as well
It was a sweet, flowing piece
Well done, It was a brilliant one to read
-
I second the *stare*. I enjoyed the poem, and really liked the entire thing, even the pepsi cola part--- which i really dont understand. the quirky sound of the last line just made me kinda of giggle--- but then i didn't understand whether i should be giggling or not. upon revisiting the poem again, still didn't get it. That's probably the point, though! lol good write, got me thinking!
-
I loved this poem. It was os smooth and so picturesque. Then the ending where you want to be a pepsi cola? *stare*
-
-
Thanks for the comments! The pepsi cola part was a joke for my Dad, I thought I deleted it after he read it. It wasn't suppose to be in the poem, I took it out sorry about that.
Peace

Oh!This is nice....very beautiful!!!
Simple lines......but very deep.

This is a lovely piece, and it's something that seems a little different from your usual style. I like that you branched out with this as you do a very nice job with it. I agree with the poet before me in saying that this has wonderful imagery. It's a piece that comes to life before your eyes as well as in your mind and spirit. Beautiful presentation, my friend.

-
it is different isn't it? I got the idea from a song by 'Tears For Fears" Seeds of Love" and it just kind of took on a life of its own. Thanks for the gracious comments
Love & Light
