This was a beautiful poem on how mother nature takes care of its seeds to give us more. Your poem was very creative and so caring. It gave me a sense of new birth, always in our midst.

What a lovely poem and prayer. I can tell you have a Gardner's Heart. I liked how your organized by the four elements. My favorite part is the last line, "Walz them gently."

Beautiful imagery with clarity and no frills.
For every stanza there is an accompanied sensation as well as the expected visualization. I read each with a sense of delaying the read to revel in the sensation.

I had to read this poem you have penned the Gardeners Prayer. My husband has a garden every year. You used very nice words that went so well in your prayer. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your win. Blessings, Teri

What a wonderful poem - you must be a gardener to know exactly what it takes to successfully grow one. The words are meaningful and prayer-like.

Nicely done - congratulations on your win.

    Thank you, Pam. No, sorry to say, I am not much of gardener. Lol I do appreciate your kind thoughts though. Of course I do love the sight of well cared for garden.

    Thanks again.

This work has reached the exceptional level

"Gardiners Prayer" [should be 'Gardener's Prayer] is truly a gentle prayer for seeds and plants to receive the treatment they depend upon from the elements of existence that affect them. Like many prayers, each line uses the same gentle stresses to exhort the planet, sun, rain, and wind to care for the wonderful emergences of botany that the gardener nurtures.

This is a very clever use of the twenty syllables! I liked how you addressed the Earth, Sun, Rain, and Wind and charged them with what to do for the inhabitants of the planet. Congratulations on the win!!
