October Challenge 1 'garden' or 'gardens'

As a follow up to the October ginko in the Veale Gardens I have made 'garden' or 'gardens' the first challenge topic for October. Any Japanese form poetry is acceptable. Please use your imagination and observation.

  3. rose bloom
    ignores the symmetry
    of the garden
    inviting me to smile
    at its disobedience

  4. humble geranium

  5. a visit
    to the new rose garden
    at the botanical gardens
    like most things
    not as good as the old one

    a garden of wildflowers

  7. secreting cuttings
    into her handbag
    my mother

  8. the next day
    ten more white lilies
    in the bed
    amongst the green
    of yesterday's lust

  9. gentle twist
    of the lily spathe
    encircles the spadix ...
    if only the courage
    to corner my inner self

  10. my brother-in-law's
    agave garden
    overgrown -
    his pride of its value
    more harangue than fact

  11. petunias
    cloaked in coloured velvets
    acknowledge
    the snail's greeting
    a passing shower

    ReplyDelete
  12. perfumed lillies
    you wore in your hair
    now add to my pain

    ReplyDelete
  13. planting
    forget me nots
    in his garden
    I should have guessed
    the outcome

    ReplyDelete
  14. by my own sweat
    a huge compost pile
    of deadly nightshade
    but now this perfect specimen
    I haven’t the heart to pull
