The gardener dug it carefully

for he wanted it just right,

he dug where it was warm

but not too cold at night.

The climate was considered

when he brought the seeds for flowers,

he dug the holes and planted them

and worked at it for hours.

After he had planted them

he gave a little water,

but he didn’t overwater them

in case it got much hotter.

The gardner soon did treasure

all the different kinds of blooms,

and carefully hand-picked them

and displayed them in his rooms.

So don’t neglect your garden

for you’ll have to make ammends,

‘cause in this story you’re the gardener

and the flowers are your friends.

Have you had a life changing experience recently?

You poetry has changed a lot, reflecting a deep consideration of life and humanity.
I must admit I am not overly fond of the strict rhythm and rhyming schemes you are using but there is so much care and compassion there I find it easy to forgive.
cheers,
Jess

The Gardner

Hey Jess,
I wouldn’t say, “life changing”…..just a lot of time on my hands.
Doc.
