So beautiful, Dick. My grandma loved her little patch of hollyhocks by the sunny line where she hung clothes out to dry in the summer time.
Your prompt is fun. Here is a very strange little poem from my drafts pile. I was playing with making up words. It's about the first two humans, innocent and playing in their garden.
Aw that's a really lovely memory of your grandma. Also - ohh love that Ann - what a marvellous quatrain - and made-up terms like "tumble-fell" and "laughterripple" are just wonderful - there's a real innocence to them. Thank you so much for sharing it 🖤

i knew you then in bramblethorn
your laughterripple dream-keep

Grandmothers and their gardens . . . I wish I could stop by my grandma's house like I used to and help her weed/plant/water.
gladiola begonia marigold
grandmother’s garden bright with colors bold
careful tending, years of her love and hours
nurturing our memories and flowers
Same Kerry 🖤 I love your quatrain - such a wonderful sense of sound.
I love these haiku about your nana. So precious.
Aw thanks LeeAnn - means a lot 🖤
Beautiful poems about your Nana!
Aw cheers Jeffrey! Really appreciate you saying so 🖤
To the Garden
Yield your scent, become the breath I breathe.
As daylight fades, you are the hush I leave.
Aw beautiful Paul! Thank you so much 🖤
Thank you, Dick. Not quite as good as Swartz, but it’s a try,
Aw I dunno - certainly tickled me, especially as someone who is in a new relationship 🖤
Somehow “quite” became “equity” in my response to you, Dick. New relationship? Well done, lad!
Haha. Aw cheers Paul. Appreciate it 🖤
You lovingly remember your nana as I do my grandma and hope my grandchildren remember me!
Aww yeah - it's always the hope huh 🖤
