My Garden Comments

Rating: 4.9

3 feet high, and counting parallel far and wide
My Garden grows and overflows with weeds and grass
their nimble arms crawl up my house, and neatly bind
as coats of moss knocks on my door with earthly mass

Gardening is a healer. With the solitude it certainly works wonders. Creative words.

fences rot, chipped with roots of creeping vines my patio begins to look like some lost ruin Tall trees loom, their shadows tumble through the sky Ribbons of sunbeams dance in golden illusions A thousand birds make their nests above the trees And warren of rabbits makes their home beneath the leafs Sometimes a deer comes by without any reserves The whole backyards turned into a nature preserve ... extraordinary writing..Thanks

The poem expresses in beautiful detail the wonderful attributes of this garden and the joys and usefulness that it brings. Every stanza stands out imbibing in the mind the difference of a well maintained garden from a pristine one. Liked the last stanza and its wonderful message. 10+++++and onto my Poem List.

Gardens bring us close to nature, but manicured gardens, looking from this point of view, take us that much away from nature. Yes of course weeds and grass gown naturally have equal place in a garden. Well said.

Tremendous, Kevin. Reminds me of Emily Dickinson. Nature can secure a tomb and become what ushers us off the mortal coil. We tend, however, to romanticize nature. No problem there, but it can be too much of a focus on that which nurtures us. If we focus on that, we focus on the egocentric. At a certain stage, nature takes what's left...to nurture others. This one goes to myfavourites.

We love both decorated garden as well as natural garden. We love all gardens across the globe but your garden is special as this has carried nice imagery for interesting poetic expression. Your garden is of course special.

This pristine wilderness sounds so tempting when concrete structures and manicured lawns are in vogue.Your Garden would be so lively with rabbits and deer roaming about and birds chirping on every tree. The winding creepers that make a natural curtain on your window will give your abode the coolness of a bower. You have made before your reader's mind the image of a sprawling vista of lush green verdure, come alive! Beautiful! A 10
