my garden is…
a nurturing place
rejuvenating space
my garden grows…
green food for health
veggies’ bountiful wealth
my garden knows…
thorn pricks can hurt
worms benefit dirt
my garden shows…
shoes track in mud
fingernails collect crud
my garden flows…
slime trails of slugs
bees’ honeyed hugs
my garden hoes…
weeds will NOT win
squeaks windmill spin
my garden chose…
to raise leafy praise
for long summer days

You’ve created a bright and cheerful image of your garden, Lynn, especially with the use of rhyme and the repetition of ‘my garden…’ And your garden has everything, from vegetables and thorns to slugs and worms!

Thanks, Kim!

Your garden owes a lot to your good care, I think!

love the rhythm and rhyme…and sounds like a beautiful garden indeed!

my garden is…
a nurturing place
rejuvenating space
It rightly sums up what a garden is, right at the opening! It keeps the mind oiled towards its goodness throughout the poem!

Just a note too at close
to the end friend Lynn..
this is the least amount
of commenters i’ve ever
seen on all of the poems
in a dVerse prompt
yet..
he
he but
i made up
for the rest of that..
i suppose the election
and all of that is singing
the poetry online liberal blues too..
nothing gets me down.. nothing get me down..
as i got
THE
power
within my friEnd..;)

WeLL.. hello Lynn..
noW.. this is my 17th
poetic expression
iN Garden way now..
hehe.. iF ya wanna
cAll it thaT and i must
admit that a theme oF
Garden and God saMe
has unleashed
a dam
break
once again..
but i’LL keep
it short
sort
of
hehe..
noW..
as Now
A essence
oF A Garden
runneth over as such..;)
AnyWay.. hi.. may not finish
the rest but never the less
i made you the end anyWay now..
as you’ve been sort oF instrumental
in helping me finish a ‘little’ project of mind..
in A test ment
of sortS as heARt
i guess for more..
sure.. miNd and
BoDy SoUL for
BaLanCinG too..
and that’s all
for now
as
A Garden and
Ocean samE grows longer..
and on top of that got a gym date
coming too.. as human gardens need
lots of exercise away from keyboards too..;)
Nov 16, 2016 @ 20:18:18
Now you’ve sparked my curiosity!? Thanks, always, for reading…just got back from an exercise class myself 🙂
Nov 16, 2016 @ 22:17:46
He he.. FriEnd Lynn..
i will leave no question
marks with out
reMark.. well..
as i might have mentioned
earlier.. i recently finished a
42 month witness for God
in a 3.3 million word free verse
poem in longest long form style in history
now of humankind.. technically per se.. as
it will fit no where.. even if someone wanted
to publish an ocean whole
poem like that..
and it’s
also A
SonG oF mY
soUL and that
will never go on
sale.. anyway2.. that
entire poem is still growing
at the 721st Macro-Verse comprised
of many Micro-Verses.. and micro-micro
verses such as this very one i am writing
now that comprises all 17 poetic free verse
expressions that by the way are all in what they
term in poetry science as concrete forms coming
in chalices.. lamps… etc.. and even beyond word
forms.. in most all 3.3 million words plus now of
721 Macro-Verses whole in actually additionally
2 mirror blogs that entail that whole enchilada and
more all said and done now with somewhere around
1.5 million views of folks who venture in some of those
rabbit holes too.. and what i just did in 6 weeks as i write
an average of 180K words or so every 6 weeks now IS A
12 chapter Galaxy of such as pArt of that Universe whole
poem consisting of 12 Macro-Verses as additional metaphor
for chapters too.. at precisely 181,244 words as ending recent
on 11112016.. that is the 6th named Free verse novel of which
5 are like solar systems and galaxies along with planets of that
entire UniVerse of words too.. or perhaps Multi-Verses now as
Universes too.. anyway just some metaphors to help you understand
a stand in pArt of what’s going down for real.. and the instrumental part
in that 6 chapters was actually a cut and paste from a year ago
where you and i pursued a short Micro-Micro-Verse discussion
as part of Micro-Verse in regard to ISAIAH CHAPTER 53
in form of what i had
to say back to you
then.. currently
i continue
to work
on John 14:12..
let’s just put it
this way with WiNks
per se.. tHeRe ain’t nothing
Luke warm about me.. additionally
completing 6450 miles or so of praise
dance in 39 months now too in all public
places in the Pensacola Metro Area where
folks literally in the general audience have named
me a legend of dance now.. little do they KnoW the
entirety
of my
mission..
and it’s still
kinda hard to
put into words my
friend.. but since you
asked the least i could
do is do my best to provide
an answer from the holy spirit within..
as that continues to flow as streAm into
River as waves branch out to Ocean Whole more..
other than that
hope you had
a nice work-out..
as i just finished 33 reps
of leg pressing 1020lbs.. on
a very difficult parallel leg press
machine.. outdoing Marines
a third of my age at
twice as much
weight
than i’ve
ever seen
anyone
attempt
on that machine there..
with my arms raised in air..
like i said i am a witness for
God in all the gifts provided my friend..
including 66 months spent in literal hell
on earth with a condition named trigeminal
neuralgia experienced from wake to sleep like
someone drilling ear and eye without novocaine
and also named the suicide disease and literally
assessed in medical literature as worse than the
torture of crucifixion my friend.. anyway you are just
another friend on a very long trail my friend.. and i appreciate
you.. as everyone else who has provided all the inspiration i need
in both
liGht
and dArk
and sHades
of grey beyond
RainBow colors too..
i must say you’ve been
much liGhter than many
places i’ve been.. as
tRust
there
haven’t
too many
i’ve missed at this point..
Bless you friend.. and sleep tight.. Lynn..
this ain’t just a dAm break.. it’s a TsUNaMi now..;)

Wow…you, my friend Fred, just bowled me over with a tsunami of biblical proportions!
