A Rainbow in The Garden

A Rainbow in The Garden

By Amanda Pizzolatto

There’s a rainbow blooming in the garden,

An array of colors adorning the sides of the path

As petals unfurl and release their sweet perfume

While melodies are swapped at the bird bath. 

 

The tulips spread their petals of flaming red,

An exciting rush of energy across the land.

The orange of peonies are a bold move,

Adding a loud note to the colorful band.

 

Daffodils shake their familiar yellow heads

While happily dancing a waltz with the wind.

Gladioli add a dash of green along with the grass

For messages of hope they begin to send.

 

Irises come in with lovely shades of blue,

Their calming presence sweetens with every little bow.

If lavender had legs, they would prance about,

These royal purples always seeking to wow.

 

Cherry blossoms descend with a gentle flair,

Covering the ground in a soft, pink snow,

While every other flower peeks out in between,

Dressed up to the nines for the colorful show.
