My Poem: My Garden

My Garden

Night is fading away

The stars saying, “Goodbye.”

The moon welcoming day

God calling, “Arise!”

Birds hop from their nests

Rabbits bouncing from their beds

Worms squirming in the ground

Bugs wandering all about

Dressing up the turquoise sky

Dance the colors of sunrise

Swaying in the morning breeze

Spider webs strung with clear beads

Crystals reflecting on the leaves

Fruit glistening on the trees

Delicate petals stretching open

This is morning in my garden

Workers come to gather their bounty

To take back home for their honey

Butterflies flutter from plant to plant

Creating together a graceful dance

All the colors of the rainbow

Blue, orange, red, and yellow

Reflecting the suns invisible rays

Coming together in a beautiful display

Ladybugs crawl, sunflower to sunflower

Grape vines grow into strung up tower

Berry bushes house large brown spiders

And serve tart food to hungry outsiders

Daytime passes in my magical land

Ending my dreams of a place so grand

Ah, what a way for light to go

Fading away ever so slow

Life waved goodnight

Rocking in the wind

God said, “Sleep tight!”

As I turned in
