Lavender Moon: Artist, Poet and Lover of Nature

My response to my love of nature, my garden and local walks with my dogs.

Wise garden gate

Posted on May 30, 2013 by lavendermoongirl

Garden gate
Creaks apologetically,
Proudly protecting
The spirited woodland
Flowers,
Towers of ivy
Secreting lovers
Poetry
And plump
Opinionated
Peonies standing proudly.

Old Boots and clogs
Scuffle, shuffle.
Dainty slippers,
Hide amongst old oaks,
Waiting to be found.

Elegantly embroidered
Shoes,
Skipping beneath
Romantic boughs,
Pregnant with blossom.
Whilst they whisper
Their wildest thoughts,
Chastity keeps
Them apart.

  Thank you! Peonies have their own character don’t they? I love the colours.
