Job well done!

Your first line ... "petals of patience" ... could only have been written by a gardener- or one who has closely watched a gardener.

Best of luck with the 5-7-5 garden writing prompt contest.

/You put down a very simple, yet powerful picture of Mama's rose garden. The rose reminds me of gentle people with soft natures. You did a good job with this type of poem.

I knew I loved your Mama!
Those roses surely look like David Austin English roses to me, dear Yvette! My favorites! Of course, if you ever get up here, you will know that! :)
Your offering, dear friend, resonates deeply with me. Truly paints a beautiful picture of patience and love...

Take Care!

Mama's rose garden - oh, my you bring tears to the eyes when I think of my fine rose garden in the valley - so lovely. when I get around a lot of rose bushes I just have to get scissors and "dead heat" the blooms that have finished blooming and I just bring one of the beautiful blooms inside to admire.
Good job with your poem.

Yeah, I don't know this for a fact, but, I can imagine that it takes a bit of patience to tend a rose garden. This is a beautiful rose garden. It does look like a lot of love was put into this garden. A green thumb and a loving touch. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Mystery Poet,

Exceptional job my friend.....Virtual six, sorry I am all out. This is such a beautiful poem and it really made me think of my mother, because she had a beautiful garden and loved all types of flowers. Thanks for sharing a most enjoyable read. The very best to you in the contest.

Blessings...Portia

I just love the line, "painted with splashes of love." It shows not only the beauty of the garden but the beauty of the person who is charged with its upkeep. The gardener does deserve some credit.

A beautiful piece for the contest! We do tend to think of the precious qualities of patience and love when we think of our moms. And the rose is a fitting symbol of their giving spirit. Forever blooming in our hearts.
