Idle Time
Spring receives, flowering trees
displays brilliantly planted, please
gardens transformed, the busy mind
glowing hidden lights, to find
colored autumn, glory splendor
bulbs blooming, center stage September
crowns of green, colors to be seen
varieties perfectly placed
warmer charming landscape graced
illuminations reflected light,
outdoor pleasures, visually reading right
welcoming, amazing nature days
ravishing muses, rainbow planted ways
magnificent decorations, tasteful separations
receiving silent applause,
the adverse effects of cause
wonderfully planted cultivation,
thousands of flowers dancing in relation
changing scenery, parallel seasons
visitors trespassing, with leisurely reasons
