Joyful gardening bliss

The garden is adorned with,

sculptures and statues of,

different forms and sizes.

They are neither cast of bronze.

Nor are they chiselled from marble.

 

Here there are no sculptures,

created by famous artists.

Nor are there any statues,

made by known sculptors.

 

But the garden is full,

of priceless abstracts.

Some stand proudly tall.

Some spread out their arms out wide gracefully.

And some hug the ground tightly.

 

This sculpture garden,

has been designed by,

the sons of the soil,

practicing the ancient craft of gardening.

 

The sumptuous creation,

nurtured by the sun

and the joyful tears,

of weeping clouds,

pushed their way up through mother earth.

 

The magnificient sight of,

their brightly coloured flowers

and their fragrant scents,

dazzle the senses, and,

draws the mind into natures magical embrace.

 

Steeped in mystique,

the graceful display,

helps slow down natural rythms

and induces a state of calmness.

Thus improving mental health.

Really enjoyable! Have always admired gardeners who are able to make something beautiful, (with the help of the plants) out of an unattractive piece of land. They have magical hands with, of course, the famous green fingers. Kipling's 'The Glory of the Garden' is a great garden poem. (Hope I won't find the racist crime people after me, for saying that!)

Po, I just mean as a poet I study nature like a zoologist or botanist but not to write their function and life rather their beauty and grandeur. Nature includes everything.

Phew!!!?

Po

I read your words with admiration.

Wouldn't dream of throwing stones at God knowing he could retaliate with a shower of brimstones.

The garden is real but not everyone may see it through my biased eyes.

I struggled to find the right words to compose this work. I haven't an ounce of artistic ability to attempt to match the words on canvass.

Wish to be there and enjoy this God crafted beauty . I'm a naturalist. Lover of nature and wilderness. I'm more an introvert, just open up to few I trust. Nature is my kind of home to live.

I know it sounds good to be true. You should have seen it before the sons of the soil cultivated it. It was full of weeds and stones when someone called God cared after it.

This is an amazing poem. I need to visit this garden is it real or fictitious? It feels amazing to read such words of perfection. Beautifully described. Well worded and crafted with precision.

Good one? I enjoyed it completely.
