My garden is a choir

2024 G.F. Frontera

                             My garden is a choir, with each flower arranged 'cordingly
                             each blossom sings a Capella in its octave range of treble or bass
                             Soprano and Alto, Tenor and Bass - one voice
                             psalm and song in four part harmony






                             Canticle of Canticles in a myriad clamor of colors
                             refraining hallelujahs and hosannas to a higher power
                             singing for themselves, singing for the sake of singing
                             Kyrie and response in antiphonal musical measures




                             Daisies and Daffodils, Mums and Marigolds
                             Blend and balance each note to a bar
                             Roses red and white, pink and purple
                             add passion and power to chords pronounce




















                             Poppies and Forget-Me-Nots offer a dirge, a melancholy melody
                             in remembrance of the battle weary, fallen in the great conflict of years past,
                             and brothers of the square and compasses burned, in the furnace of terror,
                             each new bud a reminder of sacrifice made unselfishly






                             Tiger Lilies and Tulips in perfect pitch
                             in point-counterpoint arrangement resonates through air
                             to sing an ode to joy to lift up the soul
                             and stir the spirit of the forlorn and forgotten




                             Sunflowers and Dahlias bellow in deep rich tones
                             Birch and Beech, Maple and Spruce respond with branches dancing
                             Voices of Seraphim and Cherubim pale in comparison to each flourishing flower
                             My garden is a choir, with each flower arranged 'cordingly
