April 24, 2023 - write a poem in the form of a review. But not a review of a book or a movie or a restaurant. Instead, I challenge you to write a poetic review of something that isn’t normally reviewed.
The Garden
Not too large
not too small
Just enough grass
to sink your toes into
Colourful bergamot and salvia and lavender
surround the lush lawn
their flowers laden with honeybees
drunk on nectar
and legs heavy with pollen
Gauzy gazebo curtains
billow with spring breezes
a book and a blanket
and a cozy fire table
await the reader
Ripe baby tomatoes
grow next to Italian basil
and sweet cucumbers
a ready made snack
to be plucked
by those walking past
Glowing garden lights
blink on as the warm sun sets
over the Boxelder maple tree
its keys swirling down
to land silently on the stone patio
10 out of 10
would go again
