Gardens

word challenge and quotes

A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.
Luis Barragan

As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
John Lennon


I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon

How do poems grow? They grow out of your life.
Robert Penn Warren

 

I believe growth is a process lead by the addition of new. In either the form of epiphanies of life or of remembrances of past experiences that stood out for reasons of uniqueness.

 

A garden of life experiences…

Like the bouquet of picked epiphanies…

Unique to Me …

Alone.

 

Am I made aware of the lessons…

Because of the needs…

Inherent in the uniqueness…

Of My life…

Alone.

 

Perhaps it is…

The position of need I stand…

That defines the…

Beauty.

 

Rather I say…

It is the zealous,

frigid,

aphrodisiac,

lithe,

resilient,

 mercurial,

amative,

 bawdy nature of …

of this…

 Garden .

Your choice of words and language is as vibrant as the idea of a Garden itself. I really enjoyed reading the quotes and then seeing you create a piece.
