Gardeners' World

Gardeners’ World

Chocolate Cosmos, Moroccan Broom
Eleagnus, clove-scented Pinks
Honeysuckle and sweet Rocket
Fragrant catalogue thrown open
A perfume feast before our eyes
Drugging our senses on a Friday night

Then Islington Eden, sudden
Bursts upon the screen, such excess
Making us laugh out loud and cheer
The lovely gardener, smile so wide
Contagious, a technicolour
Poem, magical on a Friday night

    hi granny, love the poem
    its funny how the word CONTAGIOUS in your poem made me remember
    of the the story A smile is affectionate
    it gos like this: A smile is affectionate you catch it like the flu...

    I guessed Seb hadn't started following my poetry Lil!!! Do you know I think that poem - about the smile being infectious, may have been at the back of my mind too when I wrote that.
