Garden by Caroline Morgan di Giovanni

November 3, 2023
Poem title: Garden Poet name: Caroline Morgan Di Giovanni Poem: This little garden is a joy Through child’s eyes the colours dance Springtime invites a merry walk Skipping along the garden path. Strolling in the Summer sun This little garden is a joy The green trees shade our long romance We keep each other company. Red and gold and Autumn brown Our whole vista is transformed This little garden is a joy Chrysanthemums and marigolds Tell us the year is passing by. Today snow fell and covered all The blanket spread across the yard An awesome quiet filled the space This little garden is a joy. End of poem.
