My Garden – to listen to the podcast please click on link below

I could sit here in my garden

all my waking hours

simply entranced

by the profusion

of flowers.

Clouds of blue wisteria

float above my head,

and Aquilegia pink and mauve

frame where the birds are fed.

Pansies almost tumble

from my unruly pots,

and spring bulbs left to sleep awhile

obscure forget-me-nots.

The cherry blossoms sprouting

before the bluebells fade away

and Roses gather all their strength

to make a good display.

The passion flower is teasing

the ivy round the tree,

Lily of the valley

share their scent with me.

So I sit in my garden,

all my waking hours,

simply entranced

by the profusion of the flowers.
