Ode to the Garden
Ode to the Garden
A Sonnet by Linette Bonghan
My fast garden, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you prune, weed and plant,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the peaceful scant.
Let me compare you to a charming eye?
You are more beautiful and vast.
Past drought dries the big picnics of July,
And summer has the calm mooring mast.
How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your aghast crops, green and flowers.
Thinking of your broadcast green fills my days.
My love for you is in the sweet small hours.
Now I must away with a magic heart,
Remember my large words whilst we're apart.
