Hi Mary, you have brought us closer to paradise.Yes, the sunken garden that we'd overlook, comes to live now.

Even a little house plant or windowsill garden can bring such joy.Plants are so important to our environment because they filter the air we breathe.A ten from me.I love your very smooth lyrical style! ! ! !

Just gorgeous! I picked the name 'Sunken Garden' as I knew it would be different and lovely. Mary, you see so much beauty and joy in everything and your poem sings as I read it. A little sweet song for a beautiful little garden... Karin Anderson

This is a wonderful piece Mary. I particularlylike the last ffour lines which present a strong potrayal of creation.
