My Garden Comments
I have a garden where roses and orchids bloom
Petunias, begonias and flaming euphorbia blush
Where Jasmines perfume the air and chrysanthemums flourish
They adorn my courtyard adding to Nature's pristine grace

When watering them, all they do is nod and shake Some dance upon their tiny toes, singing love's sweet lore With crimson bosom bathed in dew, the roses gently smile Adeniums with their scarlet flowers and fat bellies stay rooted In tiny pots where they are fated to remain all their life I see their lips parting in pain, complaining in dumb gestures
There are philosophical references within this beautiful poem. such as 'In tiny pots where they are fated to remain all their life' then The beauty of this text is not limited by giving human qualities and characters to flowers and forming an amazing poetic painting through it. such as: 'lips parting in pain, complaining in dumb gestures'
Rather, the poet successfully managed to plant a beautiful garden with words inside her poetry. Really your aesthetic taste is amazing and so unique. thank you for this piece of gem, it deserves 10/10
there thy garden full with natural flowers on your residence yard but there thy garden in the heart from where a direction comes to decorate stunningly the garden there thy garden in the ink of your meditated poetic pen brings the words, the solemn beautiful words to pacify the inner soul of readers..........
The poem showers beauty, perhaps more than that the garden can explicit. Among the creations of God flowers wither within a few hours of their blooming establishing the fact that beauty is transient. " You vanish fast as the setting sun's slanting ray" . The disappointment to lose it is painful
to MyPoemList. the 2nd and 4th stanza stand out in my mind. beautiful garden, beautifully written about! BUT, couldn't you cut the Adeniums a 'little slack" ? ? Couldn't ya? ! I'll send this to Lora Colon; it may brighten HER day! bri :)
Thanks a lot Bri Edwards for your great comment! Also giving it a place in your favorite poem list!
Such beauty in your verse so many read u Valsa I cannot be left far behind I LOVE YOUR GARDEN AND VERSE
Lovely poem Valsa. You sure have a way with words and a way with gardening. Both of these are so inspiring.
I think my garden is almost full of flowers most of the time as gardening is a passion for me! Thank u Savita for your lovely comment!
A wonderful tribute to a magnificent garden. There was something in this verse that reminded me of a family- how it endures even under harsh condition. Or maybe the bougainvillea plant reminds me a great deal of a boisterous cousin. A great verse, Valsa.
You can always see what others fail to see Lemon. The comparison of bougainvillea plant to your boisterous cousin indeed brought a smile to me! What an apt image! Thanks a lot!
Well structured and beautifully penned as always you do...to MypoemList
Thank you Dillip for the honor of sending this poem of mine to your favorite poem's list! I am delighted!
An endearing poem dear madam! I am jealous of your lovely garden! This poem reveals that you are a great lover of nature and a worshipper of beauty! Well
Such a beautiful garden, such a lovely narrative on it. And I agree with you, when we water the plants they seem to stretch out to meet you, or so you feel. You talk to them and they seem to like it. They have a strange, unfathomable sensitivity.
So true Aniruddha sir....! Plants can sense our attachment to them and they too respond to our gestures of love! Thanks a lot!
Such a beautiful garden with such pretty flowers. They bloom to brighten your day dear Poetess Valsa. A poem as pretty as the flowers........10
I know you too love flowers and have celebrated different flowers through your poems.That way we are alike, Geeta! Thank you!
Your garden has so many flower plants in which petunias, begonias, flaming euphorbia, Jasmines and bougainvillea plants are available with attractive flowers which I love most. In second stanza the flower plants are alive in your pen. In concluding stanza you have delineated your love towards the flowers and your wishes to enjoy their matchless beauty and radiant smile. Really it is a brilliant poem from your pen having haunting expression with nice graphic. A 10
I am a lover of flowers....! From my young days, I used to take care of plants. Thank you Kumaramani sir for your beautiful comment!

A beautiful description of your garden through out..I have read somewhere that plants do talk with each other by means of their roots..their language we can not know..yet a mutual feel of their expression and ours can be exchanged by our breath and gesture...I am a lover of flowers..so pleased to read this Valsa...thank you very much for this beautiful poem
Thanks a lot Indiraji! It is true that plants have a language and they enjoy our touch and presence!

Beautiful- the flowers and the poem as well! Poets and flowers adorn each other, they can communicate with each other. Truly, you did that too: 'I see their lips parting in pain, complaining in dumb gestures' - Who else can read their lips and hear their complaints?
