A visual treat to adoring eyes
A haunt frequented by the bees

Beautiful poem about your garden and the desire to grow and develop into a fully realized plant (or human) . Great poem Valsa....especially on a winter's day in MN.

Natural beauty ever attracts attention and touches heart and soul. Flowers appear and motivate mind. Plants grow from seeds. Nice visual treats eyes to adore moment of hope. A great imagery is drawn in this excellently penned beautiful poem....10

A very pretty poem as pretty as the pink balsams that line up your courtyard. Nature's ways are amazing. They have their own ways and methods to protect themselves. A charming poem Valsa,

Right from your garden, wonderful poem well rhymed, “Thus Nature’s ways are so amazing Even in plants is an inherent training For seeds to leave the comfort of their pods And find their own space fighting all odds! Thank you Valsaji for sharing.

I understand this poem as a metaphor. I see an ideal grandmother, no doubt Valsa is it, having a look at her children and grandchildren. A happy grandmother who planted beautiful flowers and now in the winter of her life, she has a beautiful garden that provides eternal peace an unending happiness to her. Enjoy my friend, I am also enjoying beauty of such a garden, Let us enjoy and carry it to the heavens.

Akhtarji, please know that I am yet to become a grandmother! My two sons are still to be married! They are late arrivals... My elder son is just going to be 27! However, glad to read your interpretation of the poem! Thanks!

A lovely poem dear madam! I enjoyed all the lines so beautifully expressed! ! The last two stanzas are gladsome, elegantly embellished with meticulous description of nature’s bounty to mankind. The fascinating lines of third stanza is sheer marvel…….“Planted in my neatly laid up yard/They invariably make me glad/Gleaming in the first rays of the sun/With their simple beauty, my heart they won”. I believe, the lucidity of expression will arrest the attention of common readers! Regards

Dear Prof Valsa George, The poem 'My Garden Balsams' is interesting, the last stanza tells the nature' way, closing with the remark For seeds to leave the comfort of their pods And find their own space fighting all odds! - Wonderful.
