POEM by Susan Wing

I come into the garden, and what do I see? The birds, the bees and really tall trees! I keep looking and find so much more – Flowers, weeds and insects galore. When you look around, what else can you see? The colors? The smells? The wind in the trees? The garden is such a very special place, Every day it puts a big smile on my face!

"Nurture"

by Deanna Slone

​

Baby seeds and baby trees, Baby birds and baby bees. All need nurtured, all need fed. All need love then needs are met.

A Poem Written For Adults By Adult 2021

"Scratches Across the Winter Sky"

by Lyric Garten

​

Every day throughout the day I watch the winter sky from my window. Trees are scratches extending across the sky, The white sky. Then one day I see it; A tiny bud of green appears perched scantily, impossibly Attached on a scratchy branch. And day by day the sky starts to turn blue again​​.​

Poem written for Children by an Adult:

by Deanna Slone

Hey little bee
Where did you go?
Please feel welcomed
To stay in my garden to grow
I need you to be here
It will help me stay here too
Let’s be friends with each other
For all the other bees to see
We depend on each other
All for you and some for me.

"Fateful Origins"

Creation coaxed from elements enriched
Sun kisses the earth to raise orbs to existence
Rain plays a tune to charm the dance
Colors whirl within our view
Beauty captured in the wake of animation
Moon imposes the slumber afresh​​​​
