Her Garden



Nothing imagined could
Dismiss the rightness
Of this: you plan,
Plant, improvise,
Provide and I'd feel
No less near if
I fell from another star,
Here, to be astonished
By what you are.

  1. This is my absolute favorite of all your poems I've read so far.

    Norma's too, I'm sure. The garden is beautiful.

  3. What a charming ode to a very lovely lady and her colorful garden! As usual, you've said a lot with few words (I wish I had that skill!).

  5. Beautiful.
    My parent's gardener in India would have loved this too.
    He said something similar, but in prose.
