What are some of your favorite garden poems? Here's one of mine, by Louise Gluck: Matins, Louise Gluck ( photo / image / picture from jacobmatias's Garden )
Hi Jacob, Welcome here to Garden Stew. That is a nice poem. One of my favorite garden stories is "The Secret Garden". I read that when I just learning to read as a child. I have written a few garden poems that have been published. They are not fancy. Here is one: The Old Apple Tree Last night in a storm the ancient apple tree in which we delight, came down in the night. It was a noble tree. Children and birds played in its cooling shade. Fragrant blossoms in spring and apples in summer were the gifts it gave. Last night in a storm the old apple tree died. c.by Me 2001. I wrote is an epitaph to one of my last apple trees that died back then. It won an Honorable Mention in a contest. [/u][/b]
That is a wonderful poem. I've always loved the intersection between gardening and poetry. I really think they're very similar passions.
