The Garden Comments

Love of each other and Mother Earth great imagery I enjoyed this poem

Beautiful poem with fascinating inscription. Thanks and congratulations for being selected this poem as the modern poem of the day.

This beautiful poem describes the philosophical garden through a cosmic, an interior, and a spiritual angle of view. Readers are endowed to see this garden with their eyes of thought. This glow is described as equally material and spiritual. Moreover, it can penetrate both space and time. This glow is strong because it contains holiness. I loved reading this poem.

The poem has such a magical effect that i like to read it again and again. Very beautifully crafted to make it interesting. Thanks for sharing and congrats.

What a lovely poem! Congratulations on being chosen as poet of the day!

In the garden suspended in time my mother sits in a redwood chair: light fills the sky, the folds of her dress, the roses tangled beside her. memories sweet. tony

A beautiful depiction of moments in time; enhanced by the power of the imagination

One of the best poems by Mark Strand...

this is poetic garden where father bends to whisper in her ear, when they rise to leave and the swallows dart and the moon and stars have drifted off together, it shines...../// beautiful expression

yes. the memories are shining though the parents are gone

I wonder if the poet is talking about memories. Memory that shine whenever and wherever it finds a crack in our heart and mind. Enjoyed the poem even if my interpretation is wrong.

in the white foliage of the chestnut tree, still we remember your father's walk after reading this excellent poem. We hear the whisper. Leaning over this page the garden is selected wonderfully. This poem touches mind and soul and this is the best choice of many readers.

It shines in the garden, .......it shines: even now. A very good poem of Mark Strand

A marvelous narration of the Garden and activities therein with nature's magnanimous manifestations. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.

Touching expression. Beautiful poem is shared amazingly.

Even as you lean over this page, late and alone, it shines: even now in the moment before it disappears. a great poem indeed. tony

A fleeting glimpse of time in suspension.

Muse of the chestnut tree! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Nothing like a leisurely time with your family in your home garden. This is beautiful poem. Love the impressionism.
