When I first put in a flower garden here on Canada's west coast, I dreamed of having hollyhocks like my mother's on our Saskatchewan farm. Well, I put them in, they flourished for a bit, and then became freckled from top to bottom. *Sigh* <br /><br />Somehow the devastation of Mr. Klimt's painting entered your poem Violet N.http://vnesdolypoems.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-6524557400448030092013-11-15T22:34:28.828-05:002013-11-15T22:34:28.828-05:00It's a very lush garden.

I like the second stanza best, with its rhyme and assonance. Comparing the strutting chickens to soldiers was interesting -- making me think of the war and survival of the fittest. :)jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-82776716962968526212013-11-15T15:42:34.667-05:002013-11-15T15:42:34.667-05:00Wow, thanks, Steven.
