Gioia Garden
By Nick Delonas
Her garden bath mists sky and land
              water droplets touch skin untanned
‘til Sun beams brush on Candytufts
              heating steam wisps to whirls and puffs
Wake up Daylilies, Zinnias
              Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Petunias!
Open Yellow Sunroses, Poppies
              Partridge Peas and Morning Glories!
Garden delights might yet unfold
              'tween Sunflower and Marigold
And offer drink on tea trolley
              enjoyed on bed of Sea Holly
If gardener works Earth with care
              then Lavender and Rose scent air
Life and world might bloom like flowers
              would all tender loving hours
